Nooshin Shafiee is a photographer whose work explores themes of time, memory, and the sensual landscapes of everyday life. She is drawn to the subtle rhythms that shape human experience—the fleeting interplay of light and shadow, the silence between movements, and the traces people leave behind in the spaces they inhabit. Her images exist in a space between reality and sensation, capturing what is visible but also what lingers beneath the surface.

Her series are created in Tehran, a city where past and present constantly overlap, shaping an atmosphere of both tension and quiet endurance. Pulse is a meditation on what it means to exist in this time and place—how history seeps into the present, how spaces hold echoes of lives lived, and how fleeting moments form the pulse of everyday existence. Through layered compositions and delicate textures, Pulse reflects a city in transition, where personal and collective narratives intertwine in both intimate and uncertain ways.

Shafiee’s approach to photography is deeply intuitive, guided by a sensitivity to atmosphere and a search for subtle depth in everyday moments. Working with both digital and analog photography, she often experiments with layering and subtle distortions to evoke a sense of time unfolding within a single frame. Her process involves extended periods of observation, allowing her to immerse herself in a space before capturing its essence. In Pulse, she uses light as a storytelling element, emphasizing the fragility of memory and the transient nature of existence.

Her work has been exhibited in various group and solo shows, both in Iran and internationally. She has collaborated with independent art spaces and galleries, curating and participating in projects that explore photography’s ability to convey personal and collective histories. Her photography has been featured in exhibitions that examine contemporary urban life, memory, and the ways in which personal narratives intersect with broader social and cultural contexts.
