M. Adjemian’s studio was located in one of Cairo’s more affluent suburbs, Heliopolis. The photographs produced by the studio date from the late 1910s to the 1930s, after which Adjemian appears to have left the photography business. His clientele were mainly from the city’s wealthy families and the middle classes. In shooting their portraits, Adjemian did not deviate from the aesthetic conventions of 1920s studio photography, namely the pictorialist and art-deco stylistics that make these photographs alternatively atmospheric or fashionably chic. However, Adjemian did not distinguish himself with flights of imagination or inventiveness, holding strictly to established frameworks. His biographical details are unknown.
