Khodr CherriHOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 21 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A&I Photographic and Digital has appointed Khodr Cherri as Director of its Fine Art Department. The move comes as the 30-year old company expands its services to cutting-edge forms of high end digital imaging while continuing its dedication to traditional photographic arts.

“His two decades working with the highest caliber artists has given Khodr Cherri unique status and a wide following in the fine art world,” said Baret Lepejian. “We are very proud to welcome one of the most trusted authorities on photographic printing and imaging to our team.”

“I’m really pleased to be working with Baret and Vic Lepejian and their team,” said Khodr. “My vision at A&I is to collaborate with each artist to provide expert consultation with a hands-on approach, creating traditional-style exhibition quality Chromogenic and Giclee prints, and custom-designed photo books as well as discovering new substrates for large format that are unique to the individual photographer.”

A graduate of the American University in Beirut, Khodr began his photography career as a film technician and Art Center student in Los Angeles. As production manager at the Nardulli lab, he worked with Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Matthew Rolston and Norman Jean Roy, among many other photographers. He has also worked with photo editors at publications such as Time Magazine, National Geographic, and Vogue. He is an expert in digital retouching and a skilled curator of work for gallery and museum exhibitions. Clients have included Sebastian Copeland, Andrew McPherson and Peggy Sirota. Prior to coming to A&I, Khodr was with The Icon.

The move comes as A&I has introduced large-format printing with its acquisition of an HP Scitex FB500, allowing artists to print high-quality images on a wide array of substrates including metal, tile and glass. A&I Books is also leading the way in fine art print-on-demand photo books created on two HP Indigo machines, and an in-house binding department.
