Mehran Khalili; British-Iranian, raised in Luxembourg and currently based in Greece.
My main job is as a political consultant, but for nearly two decades I’ve had a passion for photography, specifically in black and white. 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 2024, I’m developing a fourth. I’m also building up enough images for a book.
If you’d like to follow my photography work, sign up here for occasional emails with new images and photographic experiments. If you’re interested in prints – or just want to say hi – email me.
