Pegah Farahmand’s photography responds to the visual poetry of the natural world, exploring the ways in which people imprint themselves onto the landscape. Born in Iran, raised in Canada, and now based in Paris, Farahmand’s practice engages with contemporary forms of spirituality, the staging of the self, and the conditions through which images are produced and encountered. Examining how systems of belief persist and transform within a culture driven by display, these questions extend into her fashion photography. Her photographs often capture subjects lost in motion or reverie, where presence is shaped by light, space, and time. Figures, landscapes, and symbolic gestures are treated as discrete elements within a broader inquiry into faith and identity.

Her forthcoming monograph, published by Art Paper Editions, develops these ideas, investigating the persistence of spiritual desire within an image-saturated culture. Farahmand has collaborated with clients such as Alexander McQueen, Dior, Ferragamo, Glossier, Helmut Lang, Lanvin, Loewe, and Proenza Schouler. Her work has been featured in titles such as AnOther, Dazed MENA, Double, Harper's Bazaar France, More or Less, and Beyond Noise.
