Jassem Ghazbanpour (Persian: جاسم غضبانپور) (born May 31, 1963) is an Iranian photographer.[1]

Biography[edit]

Ghazbanpour began photographing in the field of social documentary in 1976. In his youth, his photography was attempting to record the circumstances and the daily life of the people of his birthplace.

In 1980, with the start of the Iran–Iraq War, he started photographing battlefields and the cities which had been affected by the war, to show the impact of it.

He has taken photographs from Afghanistan, (just after the fall of the Taliban), Iraq (Gulf War and Iraq War) and Iraqi Kurdistan (independence period).

Ghazbanpour earned his BA in the field of photography from Tehran University of Art (1983–1986).[2]

After the war ended, Ghazbanpour started to take pictures of the culture, art, and the architecture of Iran, in all possible aspects, and he represented a new look of Iran in his works. In addition to publishing several books in the war field (e.g. Chemical Massacre in Halabja, Sky and Earth: Tehran under missile attack), he has published many books about Iran (e.g. New Life-Old Structure, Iranian House, Iran from the Sky, The Splendor of Iran).[3] In his background, he has numerous individual and group exhibitions in Iran and in other countries such as Indonesia, Japan,[4] France,[5] Italy.[6] Additionally, many local and international magazines and newspapers have used his photos.
