Home to one of the richest civilisations the world has ever witnessed, Teheran has always been an art hub of its own, and it would be naive to think that’s no longer the case.
The nation’s creative scene might be low-key, but artists have made it their personal mission to shed light onto the republic’s rich culture and beyond. And we’ve decided to put the spotlight on photographers doing exactly that.

Amir appears to be quite a witty person through his Instagram. Claiming to have failed photography classes at high-school level, the young fashionable photographer aims, among others, to capture his friends through his lense and it’s quite safe to say that he does so in great style.

Featured several times in the notoriously famous Teheran times, the art and photography enthusiast is starting to make a name for herself and making sure for us to remember her name. Contemporary, modern whilst yet using staple, and sometimes kitsch, references to her roots, the photographer is putting Iran on the map in a way that many of us will find hard to forget.
