Aram Alban was born on July 30, 1883 in Constantinople, Turkey. His parents were Armenian, but Alban was raised and educated in Constantinople and Cairo. He left school to work as the assistant to a photographer in Cairo. After this apprenticeship, Alban went first to Milan (he apparently admired Italian portraitist Gustavo Bonaventura) and then to Brussels, where he took portraits.  (...)  He died in Cairo on March 4, 1961.
