Vosoughnia began his photography journey in 1988 through independent classes offered by the Iranian Youth Cinema Society. This period coincided with profound social transformations in Iran, which steered him toward documentary photography. In recent years, his work.[2] has centered on capturing Iran's landscapes, particularly urban areas, with a critical eye on city spaces and cultural identity. His approach often falls within the cityscape genre, where he aesthetically documents the physical elements of urban life. A recurring theme in his photography is the deliberate absence of people, which creates an evocative sense of ghostliness. This technique portrays human presence not through figures but through lingering traces and symbols, framing themes like mortality as a liminal state between existence and erasure rather than a definitive end.[3][4]
Vosoughnia's works have been exhibited in more than fifty solo and group exhibitions in Iran, Europe, Canada, United States, and Middle Eastern countries.[1] He has also been active as a juror in numerous photography events. Among the most notable are the 7th Press Photo of the Year Award in Iran (2025), [5] the Sheed Award for Documentary Photography in 2016,.[6] the 9th edition of Ten Days with Iranian Photographers (2019),[7] as well as the 3rd [8] and 8th Annual Student Photography Festivals at the University of Tehran (2018 and 2025).[9] Alongside photography, Vosoughnia works as an art director and editor of photography books, and his works have been published in specialized journals in Iran and abroad.[1]
