Mania Karimianpour

I was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1981 and have explored a wide range of artistic disciplines including music, video art, and theatre. I began my photography career in 2008 as a freelance photojournalist for a leading news outlet, before transitioning to fine art photography.

In 2011, I moved to Budapest to expand my creative pursuits, incorporating contemporary dance and performance art into my visual work. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in fashion photography from Budapest Metropolitan University.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated on numerous artistic projects in Iran and Hungary. Since returning to Iran in 2020, I have worked in different fields of photography, portrait, fashion, product, fine art, and documentary. I also work as an artistic director. I am an intuitive photographer and have recently ventured into documentary filmmaking.
