Hagop Istanboulian

Hagop discovered his creative path at a young age. Passionate about photography, he began working professionally while still in high school in Lebanon. In 1993, he and his wife, Ano, founded Hagop’s Photography in Palo Alto, California. They also introduced photography to their children, Talar and Yerem, at a young age.
As the industry evolved, Hagop quickly recognized the importance of digital innovation, immersing himself in digital photography, Photoshop, and other design software to expand his artistic capabilities.
Fifteen years ago, he began creating digital artwork, further broadening his creative expression. His talent shines through in his abstract compositions, as well as his striking nature and travel photography. Drawing inspiration from nature, street art, fellow artists, and his own life experiences, Hagop’s portfolio reflects a rich diversity of styles and perspectives.
Some of his pieces are entirely original digital creations while others begin with a photograph that he transforms using various digital platforms. He also incorporates photographs that his family has taken.
In 2024, Hagop was honored with induction into Marquis Who's Who in recognition of his accomplishments in photography and digital art.

Self taught photographer and artist. Over 30 years of Photoshop and digital photography and artwork experience.
