Amir Meshkin

Photography – Nashville

Amir Meshkin was born in Tehran, Iran in 1980, 3 months after the islamic revolution. His father was trained as fighter pilot, in the USA, and decided to go back to Iran after facing difficulty finding a job in Columbus, MS. Shortly before the war was over, his family moved back to the USA and settled in beautiful Nashville, TN. Mr Meshkin captures moments in time to express interpretation of the world around us. By using high exposure time and subtle methods to bring out abstract qualities in mundane settings, there are no need for photoshop edits. His photographs are rarely edited after they are taken, except the occasional color invert. Ordinary objects at random moments under unique lighting can often become extraordinary. And Mr Meshkin lives in extraordinary moments.
