Aria Shahrokhshahi is a British-Iranian photographer and filmmaker, represented by Object & Animal. Although interested in incorporating multimedia into his work, Shahrokhshahi’s work is documentary at its core, focusing on a variety of diverse communities and the way people interact inside them. Social structures - and more broadly, the human condition – fascinate Shahrokhshahi, as do the relationships and power dynamics that inform our existence. Photography offers him a window of understanding into these communities and a way for him to explore the world around him.  

His fervour for exploration has led him to complete projects across the globe, including in Gambia, Ukraine, Iran and in the UK where he lives.

In the future, Shahrokhshahi is looking to further his work in his home country Iran and keep his practise within long-form bodies of work that readily display his creative focus.
