Abbas’s use of the 115-year-old camera also speaks to his ability to bridge the old with the new, blending traditional photographic techniques with modern subjects. This approach has made his work timeless, resonating with audiences across generations.
A Decade of Presidential Inaugurations
For more than a decade, Abbas Shermohammadi has been a key figure in documenting the inaugurations of U.S. Presidents. From Bill Clinton to Barack Obama, Abbas has been there to capture the solemn oaths, the grand celebrations, and the intimate moments that define these ceremonies.
His photographs from these inaugurations have been widely recognized for their beauty and professionalism. A few years ago, his images from President Clinton’s swearing-in ceremony were published in a youth magazine, bringing his work to a younger audience and inspiring future generations of photographers.
