About Jayel Aheram  Community
Jayel Aheram is an internationally-published photographer whose work has drawn acclaim from notable names such as Yoko Ono and Rosie O'Donnell. His work have been featured and published in multiple print, television, and online venues. He is a popularly exhibited artist featured in more than a dozen exhibitions, including three critically acclaimed solo exhibitions.

Aheram’s works have been published and featured in more than seventy print, television, and online venues. He has been published in the New Yorker, Poets & Writers, BoingBoing, Discover Magazine’s Discoblog, and the cover of Vision Magazine. He has been interviewed by Rosie O'Donnell in “Rosie Radio” and prominently featured in her blog. Internationally-published, his work appears in Germany’s TOMORROW, the Philippine’s IMPACT, and the Italian book cover of Warren I. Cohen's bestselling book "America's Failing Empire" (Gli Errori dell’Impero Americano).

He is a popularly exhibited artist featured in more than a dozen exhibitions, including three critically acclaimed solo exhibitions, two of which had been named by Palm Springs newspaper The Desert Sun's "Hot Picks of the Desert" in two different years. According to the Desert Sun, “Aheram's photographs, like deserts themselves, depict scenes of beauty and desolation. 'The Harsh Desert' goes beyond the theater of war to reveal an Iraq few Americans have seen.”

In 2008, Aheram was part of a panel of celebrity judges along with Oscar-winning actress Liza Minnelli, stage-actor Frank Langella, Grammy-winning singer Cyndi Lauper, and other notables for singer Sam Harris’s “War on War” music video. His photography has been featured in anti-war music videos including Sam Harris’s “War on War” and Italy’s The Abuffos’s “Stop What You’re Doing.”

A veteran of the Iraq war, Aheram was honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps in early 2010. It was during his deployment to Iraq that Aheram found his talent and passion for photography. What started out as a mere hobby to complement his writing turned into a lifelong fascination for beauty in the still. Aheram’s photography is not an emulation of a particular style nor does it assume to present a particular policy. Rather, his work is an exercise in extrospection; an innate desire to find the objective beauty that is inherent in everything and everyone; and a documentary of the world and its people as he perceives it.

He currently resides in Southern California where he is pursuing a degree in Mass Communications.
