Noushin Ourmazd was born in a small urban province of Iran in the 1950s. Her upbringing saw her and her family relocating all across the country, as per the demands of her father's career.

By her late teens, her fascination for the Arts was born, in particular Painting and Photography. She began nurturing this talent for the visual arts under supervision of her mother, an avid painter.

Post revolution, under growing economic and cultural pressure, Noushin left Iran with her immediate family, to live in the United Kingdom, where she began an undergraduate degree in Art. Here, her passion for Photography blossomed, and she began to build her portfolio with a focus on Black and White imagery.

Noushin's body of work today is a product of her life story, the stories of her people and the identity combat in the society. She quests the unknown and looks for the light within the shadows. She is interested in the way becoming part of a society, can establish identity, but also takes the emphasis away from the individual. She aims to show how all the confinement and limitation in Iranian society has caused people confusion and loss of identity.

Her childhood memories in Iran, the turmoil she witnessed in her life due to the change, the struggle and conflict of her people, and the contrasts with her life today in Western society, have inspired her to use her art as a platform to exhibit the identity crises that women, specifically Iranian, are routinely subjected to.

Khanoom series embodies the identity crises, the essence of what choice means in the society. Women scarify their truth and freedom for financial and emotional security. Whilst not always, this sacrifice in many cases can mean their submission to chauvinism and mail dominance.

Her work has been featured in News, Media and Art publications globally and displayed in Exhibitions throughout Europe, the Middle East and North America. Her works recently were exhibited in December 2013 at the Southern Nevada Museum Of Art (Las Vegas), at Roy Gallery in Ohio, Fern and Dinn Gallery in Florida.

She describes “In my Photography I am interested in finding something invisible and hidden in us, the essence of human ability in adaptation for survival”. Her choice of subject comes from a place of intuition and is fuelled by a vigorous desire to partake in the stories that unfold in society. Some of her subject matter is about people's daily routines and their intimate environments.
