Biography
She was born in Hamedani families but in Gorgan. She studied law and political science at the University of Tehran. He has been involved in photography since he was a teenager and has been talking to people through binoculars for more than 45 years. Maryam Zandi can be considered the most well-known female photographer in Iran, and although she says she does not believe in male and female photography, some of her exhibitions, including: Women at the Revolution, have a special focus on Iranian women. She is also the only photographer known by the Iranian woman, who has been shot by the Iranian revolution, and the events of Iran, the years 1979 and 1980, and has been reminded of the four thousand frames of photography. She is a member of various spheres of photography and the honorary members of the Iranian Cultural Heritage Photographers Association. This Iranaian photographer was arbitrator of several domestic and foreign photography festivals and a multi-country photography festival and a foreign-and 20-in-the-art photography exhibition. The 11-volume collection of books has been published from his images. She will know the optimistic photography with a happy and social look that the feminine and poetic atmosphere is seen in her picture frame. Master Maryam Zandi, member of the founding board of the National Iranian Photographers Association, is the first chairman of the Assembly board of the Iranian Photographers Association or National Photographers Association. She is the honorary member of Iranian Cultural Heritage Photographers Association and now he is the Higher Council inspector of Iran’s House of artists and Secretary and referee of several domestic and foreign photography festivals as well. The first works She has published with her personal capital is the Turkmen and Sahara. Nader Ebrahimi the famous author and Movie Maker is also written for this book intro. The book is the thesis of Maryam Zandi, the Metamorphosis and transformation in the style of Turkmen life. His next effect is related to the occurrences of the 1978 Islamic Revolution, which was published in the form of books and the name of the Revolution 57. One of the most important collections of She, which makes her appear as photographer, is the collection of face books. This collection was very pure and pristine at the time. Zandi has gone in the first cover of the series of faces to literati. She published books in five volumes. A collection of architectural artists were also published that were not placed in between these five.

The latest works of Maryam Zand: Five figures from contemporary Iranian music, which were recently shipped by Maryam publication. Photo 117 The artist of the music of the book came out, including Professor Mohammad Reza Shajarian, Abdolvahab Shahidi, Rambod Sodeyf, Ahmad Pejman, Shahram Nazeri, Hossein Alinzad, Kayhan Kalhor, and Mostafa Kamal Pourtorab. According to Maryam Zand, the book was 16 years old and he died of those who came to the book. The photo of the traditional and classical music masters of this book was published except for the fact that some of them were either dead or they were allowed to be shot and, for example, Masters of Jalil Shahnaz and Hassan Kasaii were among those disease, failed to photograph them. The photos of this book, such as the four previous effects of Maryam Zand, were in the same order as age. This book is for traditional and classical music figures, and is not a trace of pop music activists and music strings. A series of five figures, the faces of the Iranian contemporary music, wrote that this is the last book of Faces, and the collection will not be ed. He shot this project in the year 2001, with the analog of the analogue and the year 2017 with the digital camera. The photos of this series was recorded in the zandi studio.

Feature book: Five figures, a view of contemporary Iranian music is that the photos of this collection were shot with white clothing and the photos are also white. However, the space and the sense of the photos are unparalleled. 24 pieces of the photos of this collection were first to the eighth of the month of 2017 in Ivan’s gallery came to display that was welcomed by the interested. She stated: In this book, such as the four volumes of the previous book, previously published, the photos were placed in the book, i.e. the oldest starts and ends with the youngest, while in this book, the traditional and classical music of Iran has been shot. And activists are not pop music and other strings of music. In the end about the continuation of this series, Zandi said, I do not think that I will continue to carry out the collections of the faces, as I have also called “Figures 5, a film of contemporary Iranian music,” which is the last book of figures.
