Hello, I'm arash

portrait artist

Hi, I’m Arash—a husband, father, and portrait photographer based in Ottawa.


My interest in photography began more than twenty years ago, simply by documenting the lives of family and friends. I never really stopped. What began as a way of preserving the people and moments around me gradually became a deeper fascination with photography and, eventually, the pursuit of it as a creative discipline.


Over the years, I found myself increasingly drawn to portraiture. My fascination with the beauty and individuality of the human form led me to specialize in portraits and to explore how light, expression, composition, and character can come together in a single image.


At the heart of my work is a simple purpose: to capture the best of each person I photograph. I strive to create portraits that are refined and authentic—images that reveal confidence, character, and individuality while presenting each subject at their very best.


That philosophy is at the heart of Sarvar Art Studio: creating timeless portraits that celebrate the individual.

 

My approach

My approach is calm, collaborative, and carefully guided;  I take the time to plan the look, location, and wardrobe with my clients before the actual shoot.  During the shoot, I focus on building rapport and directing posing.  I try to make each person comfortable, confident, and naturally themselves in front of the camera.  


My artistic style emphasizes natural expression, clean composition, and refined lighting.  Therefore, my clients always get finished images that feel premium and elegant.
