Hello! I'm Arvian (pronounced are-vee-ahn) or simply Avi (pronounced ah-fee in Bahasa Indonesia) or Arv (if you want to keep it one syllable). I am a photographer based in Sunnyvale, CA. I spent more than 25 years in tech before returning to my passion for photography.
I mostly shoot portraits, but I sometimes dabble in street and travel photography too. I love experimenting and shooting with vintage lenses, exploring their distinct character and "imperfections." My photographs are less about chasing technical perfection and more about how it feels.
"It's not the view; it's how it feels."
Take a look around.
