Iranian photographer Mehdi Ashna wins silver in Norway
Three of Ashna’s works were selected for the exhibition, and one was awarded silver by the international jury. The event, held under the patronage of the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP), drew submissions from artists across Europe and Asia, ILNA reported.
Ashna, based in Tehran, is widely recognized for his work in theater, film, and television photography. He currently heads the Iranian Theater Photographers Association and has served as juror and executive director in several national arts festivals, including the Fajr International Theater Festival.
He has earned gold medals at FIAP-endorsed festivals in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and has also received honors from international competitions in Nigeria, Taiwan, Romania, and Canada. In 2024, his images won top prizes at Nigeria’s African Wind Circuit, including Nigerian Circuit Diploma and Port Harcourt Diploma awards.
Ashna’s portfolio includes decades of work documenting Iran’s theater scene and numerous acclaimed exhibitions. His latest recognition in Norway adds another international laurel to his growing list of achievements.
