The photographer’s biographical details have not been found. According to the information on his seal, Palandjyan's pavilion was initially located on Aladjinskaya street, opposite the post office of Sarighamish town, in Kars region. Some years later, the photographer moved or branched out to Kars itself. Photographs bearing Palandjyan’s signature rarely surface on the open market, which gives grounds to assume that he had a short career, which was interrupted during the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
