Hovik Malians
Photography
I was born in 1967 in Teheran and raised in a traditional Armenian family.
I began photography in 1983, at a young age, when I joined the photography section of the Ararat Organization in Tehran.
At the age of 20, I moved to Sweden, where I worked at the “Expert” photoshop, and at the same time, I followed photography courses and master classes.
Member of FIAP & National Association of Swedish Photography
From 2003 to 2008 I lived in Armenia where I founded the photo studio Prophoto which was one of the few professional photo studios in Yerevan at the time.
From 2009 to 2017, when I lived and worked in France, one of my key clients was McDonald’s France, for whom I did interior photography.
In 2017, I returned to Armenia where I have my own studio and work as a freelance photographer.
I take photos of several genres, like Pet & Dental photography which are genres that I am trying to introduce to the Armenian market.
I have over 30 years of experience, speak 5 languages & have worked in various countries & cultures. I could say that all these factors have helped me grow as a photographer, to better understand my clients and to communicate with them to satisfy their expectations.
