Majid Bazaei (b. 1986, Kazerun, Iran) is a street photographer whose work captures the fleeting poetry of everyday life. He began his journey in Shiraz, where the city’s rhythm, people, and atmosphere shaped his vision as a photographer. Alongside his early street photography, Majid also ran his own photography studio, gaining experience in commercial and studio work. Over time, however, he shifted his focus entirely to the streets, pursuing street photography full-time as both a personal passion and artistic practice.
His images reflect a deep curiosity about people—their gestures, emotions, and the subtle ways culture and memory appear in daily life. Whether in Shiraz, London, or beyond, Majid seeks out the connections that make urban life universal and human.
In 2015, he founded the Shiraz Artist Group, which grew into one of the most active photography communities in southern Iran. Through more than 150 photowalks, group exhibitions, and collaborative projects, the group created a platform for dialogue and creativity. This collective spirit remains central to Majid’s work today, as he continues to explore how photography can both tell individual stories and build communities across cultures.
