From the Persian mountains of Sanandaj, Reza Gorji Hassani fell in love with capturing street portraiture; he portrays a sustained, eloquent range of experiential imagery, pursuing the photograph as a monumental instrument for the prosperity of our planet, humanity and the survival of our animal kingdom.
Beyond photographing the spectrum of light, and capturing moments instilled in time and space; Reza works as a Creative Director, Personal Trainer, Fashion Stylist, Brand Specialist, Artist and Editor. Commissioned globally with over 15 years of experience.
Petrie Inventory
“Reza Gorji Hassani is a photographer and visual artist who addresses this symbol. His series ‘Freedom’ attempts to subvert common visualisations of veiled bodies, suggesting that the veil has the power to reveal, just as much as it has the power to cover. Hassani employs a narrative of liberation, which gives his work a certain kind of daring energy.” 2018, Elena Stanciu.

Meditation
In Reza’s spare time he practices Vipassana Meditation “It is the process of self purification by self observation. One begins by observing the natural breath to concentrate the mind. With a sharpened awareness one proceeds to observe the changing nature of body and mind.”
