“I believe there is a bit of magic in the medium of photography that is made up of light, chemistry, natural beauty and the ability to capture a perfect moment on film.”

Pezhman Deljou was born in 1976 in Shiraz – the center of Iran’s cultural civilization. He and his family were forced to leave just three years later, as the country became consumed by revolution. Since his adolescence in the United States, Pezhman has been exploring both natural and urban environments through photography. A passionate naturalist, he thrives outdoors, trekking, kayaking, mountain climbing and fishing – activities through which he finds peace and introspection. He is, however equally enthralled by the city, noticing a unique history and character behind every architectural detail of the urban streets.

Pezhman is a graduate of the Atlanta College of Art where he created an extensive portfolio and was able to enter the New York School of Photography, a place where he honed his skills in the medium-format camera. He continues to pursue professional photography in Atlanta. His work can be seen at galleries and many private collections throughout the United States.
