Like so many photographers, Mahnoosh Niakan tends to get bored easily. So, she tries to find all the ways she can change things up. “From the beginning of my photography journey, I’ve made a conscious effort to avoid adopting one specific style, commonly known among creatives as a ‘signature style’,” she tells the Phoblographer in an interview. “Moreover, I find inspiration in every art form to create interesting sets or guide my subjects to achieve specific poses. I pay close attention to light design in old paintings and theatrical performances, as they greatly influence my approach to lighting in photography.” But perhaps most importantly, she isn’t afraid to get experimental and embrace other mediums for inspiration.
