Behind the photographs

Looking for light. Finding a story.

NOOR / LIGHT

I'm Arash Hatami.

I'm Arash Hatami, the photographer behind Noor Photo. Noor means “light” in Persian — a fitting starting point for a space dedicated to photography.

I started photographing with a fascination for how light can reveal character before a word is spoken. My work lives between intimate portraiture, expressive nude studies, the pulse of the city, and the quiet drama of landscapes—images that feel honest, atmospheric, and deeply human.

I'm drawn to the tension between vulnerability and strength, texture and silence, stillness and movement. Whether I'm working with a subject in front of the lens, a street at dusk, or a wide-open landscape at golden hour, I aim to create photographs that invite people to pause, feel, and connect.
