Enayat Asadi is a freelance photographer based in Iran. In 2017 he started professional photography self-taught. He is in search of discovering the fundamental issues of human life and tragedy. His concentration in photography is on social justice, human rights, and mental issues. From 2017 to 2019, following the aftermath of the Afghanistan war, He began photograph Afghan immigrants and covering issues of illegal immigrants for his project “Rising From the Ashes of War”. From 2019 to 2020, He worked on his project “Hard Land” about Bakhtiari nomadic women in the Zagros mountains of Iran and imaged their strength and rich culture in front of the violence they suffer in difficult and far from welfare conditions. From 2021 to now He is working on an ongoing project “Survivors of Death Row” about people who are convicted murderers and were sentenced to death. As a photographer he believes the artist’s duty is to make connections between things, by making a bridge from the past to the present moment and then to the still-awaited future through his photographic experience.
