Renowned photographer Aaron Siskind once said, “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever. It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” This profound adage and perspective perfectly encapsulate the true essence of taking pictures. It is also something that the gifted Mario Amean deeply resonates with. As such, the outstanding individual has dedicated his profession to capturing not only aesthetically pleasing photos but, most importantly, those that tell a story.
The inspiring young man has been in the industry for nearly 15 years. He is recognized by many as “The Doctor” for his incredible shots and unrivaled editing prowess that makes a picture even more vibrant and captivating. Because of his exceptional command of the craft and unrivaled skills, he has established his reputation as one of the top photographers in New York City. On top of that, he has amassed a whopping following of more than 2.4 million on Instagram.
What helped Mario achieve such remarkable accomplishments was his early exposure to the industry. He comes from a family of photographers, starting with his father, who owned several studios back in Egypt. In fact, he started helping out with the business when he was only ten and has since developed a passion for capturing photos and moments. Today, he continues to pursue photography alongside his three siblings, who, like him, are also shutterbugs.
Aside from that, the expert is also a firm believer in collaboration, and he even generously shares his knowledge and expertise by teaching photography classes for individuals who want to learn about the craft and become professional photographers. Moreover, he works closely with his younger brothers, Edwar and Mody Amean and together, they have created the intuitive program Klik Photography, an app that streamlines the experience for clients to have an easy, great, and fun experience when they book any of them for photoshoots.
In addition to his undeniable expertise, what people love the most about the professional is his impressive dedication to making a connection. Unlike other photographers who merely take photos, Mario takes time to build rapport with each client. He also ensures that everyone has an amazing time with him.
When asked what inspires him to champion excellence, the visionary answered sincerely, “The good work and the feedback that I get from my clients make me very happy, and it motivates me to work harder to always improve my work and keep providing them with the best quality of work and experience possible.”
However, being a distinguished photographer is not Mario’s only goal. Staying consistent with his brand, the amazing young man is currently studying to become a doctor of medicine. But of course, the creative individual has no plans of abandoning his first love, which is photography. If anything, he hopes to bring together his passions and find a way to pursue both of them. “I love art, and I would love to apply all the experience that I have to my future career as a doctor,” he explained.
