Black & White Documentary People Street Photography

I am a street and documentary photographer born and raised in Chabahar, a port city on the southeastern coast of Iran. My photography is rooted in the act of observation — honest, instinctive, and slow. I am drawn to the unpolished beauty of everyday life, and I strive to document cultural moments that are often overlooked: the quiet gestures of elderly men gathering in old cafés, the stillness of markets at dawn, and the spontaneity of street conversations. My work is a form of visual storytelling, deeply personal yet universally human. Through photography, I explore themes of identity, memory, displacement, and belonging. I don’t seek to romanticize — I seek to witness. Each image is an attempt to hold space for the real, the raw, and the unfiltered.
