Amir Behroozi Rad

Freelance Photographer

Amir Behroozi, born in 1988 in Iran, is a photographer who lives in the United States. Archiving photos as an inherent tendency, he immersed himself in this passion throughout his adolescence. In 2014, he decided to pursue photography as a professional career and fully dedicated himself to it. Establishing his own personal studio in 2016 led him to take unprecedented steps and sparked interest in a new form. As a result, he gradually became interested in the world of color photography and photo essays. Throughout the years, his documentary work has focused on social narratives and personal stories, with a view to capturing human situations. Through his long-term personal projects, he has been actively engaged in exploring environmental and contemporary issues, as well as the people living there.
