Art at the Library
Faro Mojahedi: Photography
November 18, 2024 - January 10, 2025, Central Library
Faro Mojahedi is an Iranian-American photographer and multi-disciplinary artist whose career has spanned well over 30 years in architecture, portraits, landscape, fine arts, and most recently advertising photography.
The seeds for his love of the visual arts were planted during his childhood years in Iran. He took this passion with him when he packed his bags and left his home country of Iran in 1967 to attend Pasadena City College. While initially studying physics, his passion for the visual arts eventually led to his decision to switch studies to photography and fine arts at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
“I have dedicated most of my creative life to honing my unique style in photography, which embodies the influence of the old masters, understanding of the nuanced attributes of light and optics, along with a deep appreciation for beauty seen and unseen,” Mojahedi explains. “I fuse my creative talent and technical skills with the ability to capture both the moment and the essence of the subject matter.”
