Celebrity Photography By Firooz Zahedi

After graduating from Georgetown University, Zahedi enrolled at the Corcoran School of Art where he studied photography and fine art. He began his photographic career in the mid 1970s as the Washington correspondent for Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine. At this same time, he established a relationship with Elizabeth Taylor, moving to Los Angeles to be her personal photographer on her film projects.
Los Angeles became Zahedi’s base where he concentrated on celebrity portraiture, accumulating a large body of editorial imagery for such magazines as The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, InStyle, Time, Esquire, Premiere, British GQ, Australian Vogue and Elle Decor.
