About Farzad Arian
Professional Documentary Photographer & Photojournalist
Since 1997
Member of DuPho (Association of Professional Photographers of the Netherlands)
Member of NVJ (Association of Journalists of the Netherlands)
I started experimenting with photography in 1997 and found that my emotions could be expressed by the magic of light and the hidden compositions in people’s lives. I was always looking for new places and stories in different places. My heart and soul were deeply involved interacting with the subjects. My photography works are the result of my experiences related to human emotions, pain and suffering, and happiness. Through my photography, I hope I will be able to transfer these experiences from the lives of the people.
