ARTISANS

Amer Khwaja

I love traveling and started photography just to document the amazing places I have been. After joining an online photo sharing site, I saw the potential for photography as an art, rather than just a documentary medium. My photography hobby was inspired by the other artists I met online and became an obsession.

 

When I got laid off from my job fixing computers for corporations, I saw an opportunity to take my hobby to the next level and I took it, cumulating with my degree in photography in 2014. Despite having learned many other types of photography and going to a commercial photography school, I haven't been able to shake my love for travel and landscape photography and it shows in my artwork.

​

Now things are sort of coming full circle as I am doing websites for art galleries though photography is still my passion.

We had a cabin in Lake Arrowhead for many years and I hope to some day live on the mountain again, it is so beautiful and peaceful there.
