Photography fans will have the opportunity to see original photos
taken by Shiraz-Hovhannes Djeredjian, from 1960's onwards, capturing
natural scenes, historical monuments and Armenian landscapes.
Djeredjian is known as `the Photographer of the Armenian People.' His
story-telling photography preserves the richness of the Armenian
History. Shiraz has a unique talent in showcasing his photographs. His

historical sites, take you back to the places ancestors of the
Armenian people, lived, prayed and battled.
Shiraz started working with a French archaeological group as a
photographer in the 1960ēs. After touring throughout Lebanon, he began
working on his lifelong desire and travelled to hisancestral home to
photograph Armenian fortresses & churches in Western Armenia (Today's
Turkey) and Eastern Armenia. His life-long journey has given him the

heritage in Cilicia, Aintab, Ourfa, Dikranagerd, Paghesh, the Daron
mountains, Sassoun, Kharpert, Van, Akhtamar, Bayazid, Khout, Prnashen,

Marash, Malatia, Erzroum, Moush, Kars, Ani and the Iranian-Turkish
frontier. By his account, he is the first photographer who took aerial
photos of Mount Ararat.
Within the next two decades, he continues his excursions and takes
photos architectural sites and documents historical events. Shiraz
