On Spot
The whole room was hers. She didn't need anyone to know it.
She's a museum guard in Tehran, Iran. Reading, present, quietly watching, even when you think she isn't. She exists in the margins of a space built for other people's attention. And yet, in this moment, it all belonged to her.

Rather than documenting places, I photograph people: familiar moments that anyone can recognize, whether they've been to Tehran or never left their hometown. No models, no staging, no AI.
I never studied photography. I learned to see people as a nurse in mental health care where dignity shows up in the quietest moments, in the most unexpected places. That's what I search for, in every photograph I make.
