بیوگرافی
من، زهرا برفره، متولد ۱۳۶۱ در تهران هستم و بیش از بیست ساله که در دنیای عکاسی زندگی می‌کنم. لیسانس عکاسی تبلیغاتی دارم و از اوایل دهه ۸۰ فعالیتم رو به‌صورت حرفه‌ای آغاز کردم؛ اون روزها بیشتر به‌عنوان عکاس ورزشی شناخته می‌شدم.
با گذشت زمان، نگاهم از صحنه‌های پرتحرک ورزش به سمت لایه‌های عمیق‌تر زندگی کشیده شد. حالا در کنار عکاسی ورزشی، در زمینه‌های عکاسی اجتماعی و آسمان شب هم فعالیت می‌کنم. دغدغه‌هام باعث شده دنبال روایت‌هایی از زندگی، جنگ، صلح و طبیعت باشم؛ روایت‌هایی که با نگاهی انسانی ثبتشون می‌کنم.
علاوه بر عکاسی، به باغداری علاقه زیادی دارم. ارتباط با خاک، نور و فصل‌ها برای من یه جور مراقبه‌ست؛ هم آرامش می‌ده، هم الهام.
در این سال‌ها، کارهام در نمایشگاه‌های مختلف داخلی و خارجی به نمایش گذاشته شده؛ از جمله نمایشگاهی در اتریش با موضوع صلح که عکس‌هایی از دیوارها و خانه‌های فروریخته خرمشهر رو ارائه دادم.
هنوز هم با همون اشتیاق روزهای اول، با دوربینم به دنیا نگاه می‌کنم؛ با این امید که تصویرها بتونن چیزی فراتر از قاب، با دلِ بیننده ارتباط برقرار کنن.
Biography My name is Zahra Barfareh, born in 1982 in Tehran, and I have been living in the world of photography for over two decades. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Advertising Photography, and I began my professional journey in the early 2000s, initially as a sports photographer. Over the years, my perspective shifted from the fast-paced world of sports to deeper layers of life. Today, alongside sports, I focus on social documentary and night sky photography. My work is driven by a humanistic and thoughtful approach—seeking to capture stories of life, war, peace, and nature. Beyond photography, I have a deep love for gardening. My connection with the earth, light, and seasons is both a source of peace and inspiration. My work has been featured in various exhibitions, both in Iran and internationally. Most recently, I participated in a peace-themed exhibition in Austria, showcasing images of ruined walls and homes in Khorramshahr. I still look at the world through my lens with the same passion I had at the beginning—believing that photographs can speak beyond the frame and touch the hearts of those who see them.
