Early life and career

Fatemeh was born in Tehran, during the Iran and Iraq war. All her childhood was spent under the influence of war and its damage, which has become her most important concern in photogrpahy.[9][10] The death of her best friend prompted her to begin photography.

Fatemeh Studied photography in the Art Center of Tehran University (2005–2007) and started her professional photography in 2007. She worked for several Iranian News Agencies, such as: Islamic Republic News Agency, Fars News Agency, Mehr News Agency, Borna, Isca News, Iqna, Jam-e jam newspaper and Donya-e-Eqtesad newspaper.

Her main focus in documentary photography is about the victims of the Iran–Iraq war[11][12][13], culture, religion,[14] and natural crises in Iran.[15][16]

"Mothers of patience" is a long-term project that started in 2013 for Joop Swart master class World Press Photo and continued till 2018. This story is about the Iran-Iraq war and mothers of Iranian soldiers who lost their sons during war and the bodies were never found. This story was awarded the World Press Photo 2015[17] and Poyi 2014.[18]
