Hamon Nasiri Honarvar is a German-Iranian photographer whose work transcends traditional boundaries between social journalism and documentary photography. Holding a BA in Photography from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Dortmund—where his bachelor’s thesis, Land of Five Waters, laid the groundwork for his visual narratives—he further refined his artistic vision in his MA Photographic Studies.

His master’s thesis, The Prison – Photography in the Age of AI, represents a collaborative and critical inquiry into the interplay between technology and visual expression. In this work, Hamon challenges conventional storytelling and invites viewers to reconsider the intricate dynamics between human perception and artificial intelligence.

Central to his practice is a continuous engagement with the medium itself and its reception. His projects not only document candid, unguarded moments that reveal the underlying humanity in his subjects but also critically examine the nature and impact of photographic media. Each project is a meticulously crafted dialogue between the familiar and the avant-garde, offering a profound reflection on marginalized perspectives and the evolving narratives of our time.
