Mehran Khalili; British-Iranian, raised in Luxembourg and currently based in Greece.
For nearly two decades, I have pursued a deep passion for black-and-white photography, exploring themes of Greece — its people, nature, history — and my own personal journey as an foreigner living here.
My images have featured in exhibitions in Greece, Brussels and Geneva, as well as in LensCulture, Vice magazine and Gente Di Fotografia, among other outlets.
You can find three photo projects on this site. As of 2025, I’m developing a fourth. I’m also trying to develop a book.
