About

Masoud Teimory is a British-Iranian photographer based in Sussex.
His practice explores portraiture, landscape, and the visual structures of symmetry—both in natural and human-made environments. Working primarily in digital formats, he also engages with traditional black-and-white silver gelatin processes to further investigate visual form and perception.

In 2010, he began a long-term collaboration with University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, using photography to examine the relationship between chaos, symmetry, and organic form. His work has been exhibited in respected venues including Watershed, Bristol, and the Royal Photographic Society.

Masoud is currently completing an MA in Photography at the University of Brighton. He brings an interdisciplinary background to his practice, having trained as an ophthalmologist with a foundation in neuroscience. This scientific grounding informs his approach to visual perception—he studies not only what we see, but also how we interpret what we see.
