About Me

Hello! I’m Ayaz Mikayil-zade, a professional photographer and videographer with 14 years of experience.
For many years, my main focus has been on product photography, creative advertising content, and brand visuals.

My mission is to help brands stand out in the market, increase sales, and leave a lasting impression on their audience by providing effective visual solutions.
Creative thinking, technical precision, and a clear visual strategy are the core principles of my work.

Education and Achievements

After completing secondary school in 2007, I graduated from Azerbaijan State University of Economics in 2013.

Approach and Specialization

I specialize in product and food photography.
Using light, color, and composition, I transform products and dishes into visual stories.

I see photography not just as an art form, but as a powerful language that speaks for a brand.
My goal isn’t just to display a product — it’s to turn it into a visual narrative.
