Mohammad Ghazali (b. 1980, Iran, Tehran), lives and works in Tehran. He holds a BA in photography from the Islamic Azad Art and Architecture University of Iran. In his photography, Ghazali engages with the relation between urban spaces and individual life stories. The urban environment serves as the territory in which he explores the city's capacity to host communal life. Ghazali's work articulates the relationship between open, common spaces and personal histories, often without the presence of human figures. He investigates the boundaries that separate and unite the author and the spectator, focusing on the margins of photographic mechanics and chemistry. He has exhibited in more than 20 national, international shows and was awarded 1st prize in the 9th Tehran Photography Biennale in 2004 for his work 'Self Portrait' which was acquired by the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art for its permanent collection.
