Golden Shot Conversations

Nadiya Dini
I’m a photographer from Iran. My journey began in my teenage years, experimenting with analog cameras and filters. Since then, photography has become my way of exploring imagination and reality.
This work was created as part of my ongoing exploration of parallel worlds. It emerged naturally from my personal way of seeing everyday life.
The idea was to question the boundaries between different realities and invite viewers to imagine multiple layers of existence.
I wanted to suggest that we are never limited to a single reality or a single perspective.
The biggest challenge was translating an abstract idea into a simple visual language.
My work is conceptual, cinematic, and deeply influenced by imagination.

I’m mainly interested in imagination, parallel worlds, memory, and the unseen layers of everyday life.
My visual language has been shaped by analog photography, the films of Theo Angelopoulos, Western literature, and the paintings of Edward Hopper and Amedeo Modigliani.
It’s a great honor and encouragement to continue developing my personal vision.
Stay true to your own vision. Originality always speaks louder than trends.
