I'm Arsalan Neshan, an Iranian-Canadian film director, cinematographer, and photographer based in Vancouver. I make visuals that feel close and personal but also big and fresh, mixing deep culture with modern style. As a filmmaker, I craft stories delving into emotions and real-world issues to connect with global audiences. My cinematography employs dynamic lighting and fluid camera movements to capture urban vibrancy or natural tranquility, while my photography features moody portraits and landscapes with shadows, colors, and textures for bold, evocative visuals. Blending clean branded videos, heartfelt shorts, ads, docs, and features, my style uses warm tones, sharp contrasts, and authentic magic to transform everyday moments into unforgettable narratives.
