Several months ago our long time friend Timothy Daniels, who is an actor from Los Angeles contacted us to shoot his headshots, to which we happily agreed. We set out through downtown San Diego to capture many of its interesting backdrops.
As we were shooting I spotted a white Lamborghini park in front of an office building just off of Ash St. The exotic vehicle was perfect for the shoot. We simply asked the owner of the car if we could snap a few photos of our actor near the car. He was happy to oblige. The owner of the Lamborghini introduced himself as Ashkan “King” Aminpour. After exchanging our contact information we thanked him and continued on our way. The photos looked fantastic!
Fast forward to a few days ago. As you may have read in the previous blog, we were shooting Headshots and Zed Cards for our new clients Kathy and Rick Marx who just so happened to be long time friends of the Aminpour brothers and invited us to photograph Rick with Aurash “Auri” Amipour’s new Aston Martin.
One often hears of the negative stereotypes that surround lawyers but in the case of the Aminpours that notion is quickly erased. With their bright smiles and infinite hospitality we immediately felt welcomed. We even had the pleasure of meeting their mother. Whom, I’m told decorated their impressive office. WOW! What an office! Bright red carpeting and walls, Egyptian décor, intricate wood work and the oh so important ping-pong table. The guys new how to work in style!
Needless to say we had a blast shooting Rick with the Aston Martin. As luck may have it The Law Offices of Aminpour and Associates needed to update their advertisement photos for the Iranian yellow pages. Due to an approaching deadline we scheduled a shoot for Auri and King the very next day at their office.
The shoot went great! It’s such a pleasure to work with people who love to laugh as much as the Aminpours. We look forward to working with them again.

This is so funny! For the last several years when I’d walk into Iranian produce stores I would always see these two lawyers’ pictures on the back cover of the yellow pages, and I swear every single time I would ask myself…”When will these guys get new pics?” haha. You should post a before and after pic to see how much they’ve changed- very little (except for the ponytail lol). Nice photography Jeffrey.
