Hamid Reza Rahmani, known by his alias Danial f/16 is an Hazara Photographer born in 1991 in migration. He Despite the educational hurdles he faced as an immigrant in Iran, pursued his passion for photography, enrolling in independent training institutes in 2011 to refine his technical skills.

He has dedicated his passion and spent years exploring the art of photography, capturing the diverse essence of his homeland—from the raw, untamed beauty of nature to the stark, poignant realities of its streets. Through his unique perspective, he reveals a world of breathtaking landscapes and candid glimpses into everyday lives, each frame holding both the wonder and the weight of a land filled with contrasts.

 "During the years I was engaged in photography in Afghanistan, I became acquainted with different faces of this country. On the one hand, the pristine and eye-catching beauty of Afghanistan's nature overwhelmed me, and on the other hand, the heavy shadow of war, insecurity, and poverty was felt everywhere. For me, who had set foot in this land with a burden of identity crisis and a sense of wandering, the only way to escape from the bitter realities was to seek refuge in the arms of Mother Nature and record pure and beautiful moments with my camera. Photography had become both a mask for me to hide the wounds of my soul and a tool for curiosity and discovery of hidden truths.

This journey, full of contradictions and profound lessons, introduced me to myself and my roots more than ever before and opened new doors to my life."
