ABOUT ME
My name is Mohsen Mahmoodzadeh and I am a cinematographer, photographer, and documentary filmmaker. I hail from the city of Naein, Iran, where I was born in 1980.
In 2003, I completed my studies in Cinema at Tehran University of Art. In 2024, I obtained a Master's degree in the study of Information, Cultures, and Media Organization from the esteemed University of Bologna in Italy.
My artistic journey began in 1999 with a passion for photography, cinematography, and short filmmaking. Over the years, I have directed three short films and documentaries, as well as a television documentary series. Additionally, I have contributed my skills as a cinematographer to several other short films and documentaries.
I am proud to be a member of prestigious associations such as the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP), the National Association of Professional Photographers (TAU visual), the Iranian Independent Filmmakers Association (IIFMA) and the National Iranian Photographers Society (NIPS).
Also, I have taught cinematography and photography courses from 2013 to 2020 at the University of Applied Sciences of Tehran and Karaj, the Iranian Youth Cinema Society in Tehran and Shiraz, and the Iranian National School of Cinema.
