Ali Shams was born in 1995 in Tehran, Iran, into a family with a strong tradition of philosophical and mystical thought. At the age of 19, he discovered photography and holds an MA in Art Research. As an Iranian photography-based artist, he strives to seek all the derivations of his condition within his society, from ontological to social or psychological problems.
The concept of time is a significant element in his photographic processes, and his multimedia projects evolve over extended periods. He is interested in connecting videos, photos, texts, and digital files within his projects, as well as narrating his story through photo books.
