Elliot Reza Emadian is a Cleveland East Side and Lake County OH-based performance, headshot, pet portrait, event, wedding, and experimental photographer.

Elliot has been using a camera since their teen years, taking a bootstraps approach and learning skills in-action, diving into the world of photography with a passion that has only deepened over time. With an eye for detail and a flair for creativity, they’ve grown to specialize in portraiture and dance photography, capturing the essence of their subjects with stunning clarity and emotion. Each shot tells a story, blending artistry with technical proficiency, as Elliot explores movement and expression, striving to connect viewers with the beauty and diversity of the human experience.
