Golara Jahanian (born 1986 in Bojnourd in north-eastern Iran) is a photographer with a documentary focus. Her work looks for a resistant notion in photography’s reality that dominates the image: “The contemporary human being is essentially political; and in this sense, moments, places, and everyday issues, far from being banal, can find meaning in a political dimension.” She follows the transient and trivial moments she experiences in her everyday life in the urban space, whereby her camera becomes an extension of her body, something she is in constant conflict with. Jahanian holds a B.A. in photography from Tehran University of Art and her works have been exhibited in Iran.
