Masih Ashrafi

What draws Masih Ashrafi to portrait photography is the simple, magical truth that every face holds a story — even the smallest ones. Sometimes it’s a quiet look from a child, other times a playful moment. His portraits aim to capture presence rather than perfection.

As a parent, Masih has become acutely aware of how quickly time passes — how the expressions we cherish can change and fade in the blink of an eye. Through photography, he seeks to preserve these fleeting moments, not only for himself but for anyone who views them and feels a deeper connection to life.

When he presses the shutter, it’s not merely to capture an image — it’s to fully live in that moment. For Masih, photography has always been a way to pause time and breathe within it. In each frame, he strives to enter the depth of a moment, rather than let it drift away unnoticed.

Whether photographing a child, a stranger, or someone close, his intention remains the same: to honour the beauty of being seen. Photography, for him, is a quiet affirmation — a way of saying, “I see you, just as you are — and that is enough.”

He extends his gratitude to those who share in these quiet frames of life.
