ABOUT RAZAN STUDIO

For nearly two decades, Razan Studio has been a beacon of excellence in wedding photography and cinematography, crafting timeless memories that celebrate love, emotion, and the profound beauty of human connection. Founded by visionary artist Sohail Razan (b. 1985), the studio has become a pillar of creativity and innovation in Iran’s wedding industry, seamlessly blending cinematic artistry with heartfelt storytelling.  

Renowned for its natural, ethereal, and painterly portraits, Razan Studio specializes in transforming fleeting moments into cherished heirlooms. With years of experience, Sohail and his team have mastered the art of capturing the essence of each wedding, producing visuals that are not only stunning but also deeply meaningful. Their work transcends traditional photography, merging modern techniques with a timeless aesthetic to create extraordinary collections.  

At the core of Razan Studio’s philosophy is the belief that exceptional photography should tell a story. Sohail’s passion for his craft and his ability to connect with clients on a personal level ensure that each couple’s journey is immortalized with authenticity and artistry. Photography, for Sohail, is more than just an art form—it’s a transformative experience. “Photography has afforded me the unique opportunity to peer into the intimate lives of others, offering a judgment-free lens through which to gain a deeper understanding of human nature,” he reflects. “It has enabled me to explore the intricate motivations, 

deepest desires, and fundamental drivers that shape our collective humanity.” This perspective informs every image he captures, infusing it with empathy, depth, and meaning.  

Moreover, Sohail believes that photography has had a profound impact on his personal growth. “Photography has made me become a better human being,” he says thoughtfully. “Through my lens, I’ve learned to see the world with greater compassion, patience, and humility. It has taught me to appreciate the beauty in imperfection and to find joy in the smallest, most fleeting moments.” This evolution as both an artist and a person is reflected in the sincerity and emotional resonance of his work.  

Sohail’s journey into wedding photography began unexpectedly. “I stumbled into this field,” he recalls, “and it became a way to pursue photography while earning a living.” Over the years, he has photographed more than 1,500 weddings, yet he remains humble, attributing his success to dedication and a willingness to take risks. “It’s my vision and relentless pursuit of growth that set my work apart,” he says.  

“Wedding photography allowed me to document diverse ways of life,” he explains. His approach is both flexible and innovative, focusing on capturing couples as they are, without imposing a specific style. “I’ve always tried to capture couples authentically,” he notes. Every photoshoot is a unique experience for Sohail. “My best strategy is to observe without judgment,” he shares, though he admits it hasn’t always been easy. “There have been days I didn’t want to be there, but I pushed through.” This resilience allows him to navigate challenges with creativity and grace.  

For Sohail, great photography stems from the photographer’s inner state. “You don’t need a specific technique; it’s enough to be at peace with yourself.” This attitudeallows him to capture the deep emotions of intimate family moments whileremaining grounded.

Razan Studio’s vision extends beyond photography. Through collaborations and fashion-inspired wedding photography, they aim to elevate the industry and inspire future photographers. For the past four years, Fujifilm has been integral to their creative process, offering exceptional 

color reproduction and versatility. This partnership enables Razan Studio to push the boundaries of creativity and precision.  

When asked about his favorite photos, Sohail responds with humility and hope: “There are many I love, but I believe the best one is still out there, waiting to be captured.”  

Through their commitment to storytelling, artistry, and the celebration of human connection, Razan Studio continues to redefine what it means to preserve life’s most precious moments. For Sohail, photography is not merely a profession—it’s a lifelong journey of learning, growth, and becoming.
