They call me Ramtin Zanjani, born in 1979 in Tehran, Iran. I started in the fields of advertising and industrial photography in 1998, moving on to documentaries, fine arts and architecture photography, finally graduating with a BFA (applied art) from the University of Pune, India.
I am now based in Berlin, a city that allows me to bring everything together under one cohesive structure that can house and express my work with no restriction.
Art direction is the idea and force. Applied art is the means. Photography and print.
I am influenced-equally-by music, poetry and words. Stripping things down, removing the coating. It didn't happen straight away. It was a long journey. A process of reducing things to their essential aspects. Lines, colours, forms and rhythms-the very basics of the visual matters.
Digital lie shows my work as an evolving process of my mind. An overview of both commercial and personal. Snapshots and studies. There is no compromise in what I do. It is a one off, limited edition.
