Khosro Vahabi was born in Gilan- Northern Iran in 1982. While completing his Masters in TEFL at the University of Tehran in 2010, he discovered the work of the eminent Iranian photographer Karim Malak Madani. Inspired, he started to learn photography and completed a comprehensive course in analog and digital photography under Malak Madani’s supervision. Art has become an indispensable part of his life since then. He has also done courses in Modern Art & Ideas as well as Post Modernist Art. He has recently graduated in MA Photography at University of the Arts London (UAL).

 

He has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Rasht and Istanbul (2024 Kalhor Gallery, 2024 Sancaktepe Municipality, 2023 London College of Communicaiton, 2014 and 2017 at Marlik Gallery & 2017 at Idil Gallery). His works received honorable mentiones in 2017 at the 78th Asahi Shimbon Salon of Japan and in 2018 at the Fine Art Photography Awards of London. Currently he lives and works in London.

 

The main themes in his work include the resilience of trees, the fleeting beauty of light and shadow, and the complex relationship between humans and nature. By focusing on these elements, Vahabi aims to illustrate subtle yet powerful narratives in everyday scenes. His working space consists of photography and moving images, often reflecting his attachment to the black-and-white format. Another characteristic of his work is the use of multimedia elements and collaboration with artists from other genres.
