Biography

Welcome to Photo Tak Photography!

My name is Davoud Tavanaie and I am a photographer originally from Iran focused on Portrait, Wedding, Pet, Business, Baby & Maternity Photography in Victoria, BC, Canada (But always available for travel as well!). I have studied in Tehran at Art University of Tehran way back in the 90’s where I worked in Channel 1. Then I’ve been translating my love of composition, colour and documentary storytelling to portrait photography world since 2000. As your photographer, I will capture your feelings and memories so you can look back and remember more than just what happened – you can go back a remember how you felt. No matter the size of the project I always bring the same passion and dedication to each individual job and it’s my priority to make sure everyone goes home happy! Enough about me, what’s your story?
