Ashkan Roayaee

Born in 1984 in Tehran, Iran and currently residing in Houston, TX. A self-taught photographer who has been professionally active since 2008. My current photography focus is Bodies in Motion within the Greater City of Houston, primarily with Ballet dancers. Through collaboration with the dancer I have a chance to dive deeper into both arts by providing the precise perspective of the components that make these moments so spectacular. The composition, alongside the lighting of the images, and the relentless beauty of dance are captured in an instant for the spectator's enjoyment.

A graduate from METU in Ankara, Turkey in 2009 with a degree in Biology.
