Available to hire
I’m Mahshad Jalalian Majidi, a photographer who traded a comfortable corporate life for the exhilaration of capturing the world through a lens. I believe my hometown Iran shaped my curiosity, and I’m driven to travel the globe to gain new experiences and share my view of people and places.
I started with documentary photography and photojournalism, traveling across Iran to capture stories. My work has taken me to Turkey, Kurdistan, India, Afghanistan, and beyond. I love meeting people, crafting images that reveal beauty, resilience, and humanity, and I continue to explore new cultures with every shoot.
