Saeed “Pink” Sourati began photographing at the age of 18 with a Canon AE-1, discovering early on that the camera could be more than a tool of documentation—it could be a brush to paint with. Rooted in a love of colour, inspired by the meaning of his family name, Sourati’s work approaches photography as a form of impressionistic expression, where light and time blur into painterly surfaces. His fine art practice often employs slow shutter and experimental techniques to transform the ordinary into layered visions of memory and emotion. In works such as The Space of Disappearance, he explores the tension between presence and absence, reality and reflection. Through fractured mirrors, shifting identities, and elusive gestures, Sourati invites viewers into a liminal space where perception bends and thoughts can be both held and seen.
