It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head "Henri Cartier-Bresson”
This quote perfectly reflects the essence of photographer Arline Malakian. A multidisciplinary talent, Arline Malakian contributes so much to any project! She is a true Artiste, a visionary with an exceptional eye for detail and passion for her work. I have had the pleasure to work with Arline on multiple and varied projects over the years - photoshoots, creatives, portraits and fashion shows. She is a visual raconteur - I am in awe how she takes an idea and translates the client’s story to create beautiful and impactful visuals. Arline possesses a sensibility and intuition for the slightest of nuances and moods, and understands what will elevate the end product, thus instinctively capturing its essence. She inspires and motivates everyone to give their best! Her ethos is reflected in her amazing team – a group of young talents who are passionate and dedicated. Her work- knowhow, style and ethic- is fantastic! She always brings a positive energy and vibe to any project. She is always respectful and kind to everyone and navigates challenges with her innate warmth and graciousness. All these qualities add another layer of what makes it so special to work with Arline. The unmistakable style and creativity of Arline Malakian’s photography often result in commissioned pieces of art (for residential & commercial spaces & hotels).
Arline Malakian is an exceptional talent – Image Maker - Stylist - Creative Director - Brand Strategist.

From the first moment I saw her fine photography at a gallery showing, I knew Arline had an exceptional eye. Having now had the chance to discuss strategy with her and see her in action through my own session,
I know she's one of those rare people who is not just brilliantly creative, but equally savvy about business as well.
She excels at making people look interesting, confident and uniquely themselves. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her!

Working with AM Visual Communications was seamless from start to finish.
[…] Photographer Arline Malakian and her team were a great pleasure both professionally and personally. Arline has a clear and solid vision for her clients; she truly elevated my fashion brand “Atelier Volpe” to the essence of what it is today. Her clear direction on the Logo “Atelier Volpe” created by AMVC, and her solid vision behind the Brand and Imagery made a world of difference! […]
AMVC was able to stretch me with confidence outside a comfort zone, beyond what I could imagine.
I learned to defiantly trust her suggestions during the shoot because it not only worked, but it exceeded and expanded my own vision. She was really involved in this project with me and you don't find much of that kind of commitment! Her years of experience in the fashion industry transpire with a great deal of creativity making photography not just about photos but also about an artistic story to elevate and humanize the label’s visual brand experience. The work was tedious and time sensitive and the team at AMVC excelled at delivering it with efficiency and with no compromise! During this time in Covid-19, I am grateful that my shoot was so organized and sterile, yet so enjoyable. I have been overwhelmed by the number of compliments and engaging interest in the brand at the launch of my fashion label. […] I am incredibly grateful and I truly look forward to working with AMVC in the near future.
Thank you and the team for the hard work, passion and dedication. There is nobody who could have understood and captured “Atelier Volpe” better.
