I’ve photographed breaking news, community stories, sports, and politics, and produced video reporting from the U.S.–Mexico border and inside San Quentin State Prison. Outside the newsroom, I bring a photojournalist’s eye to the Seattle Art Museum and to commissions such as documenting the U.N.’s work in Erbil, Iraq. ︎&nbsp; I also do graphics, photo illustrations, animation, and cartoons — yes, cartoons. &nbsp; https://alborzkamalizad.com/portfoliopage Thu, 19 Feb 2026 20:30:32 +0000 Alborz Kamalizad https://alborzkamalizad.com/portfoliopage LAist -

Erbil, the capital city of Iraqi Kurdistan, was referred to as “the next Dubai.” But in 2014, ISIS advanced into Mosul—an hour’s drive to the west—and development screeched to a halt. I was in Erbil in 2016 to produce and edit a fundraising film for the United Nations about the Iraq IDP Information Center. The center operated out of a humble office inside a converted shipping container, where a staff of 11 connected displaced people across the country to vital resources. Along with working on the film, I photographed the call center workers and the surrounding areas for the center’s internal communications. <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/86c3ffe057110d7aa09fa2ef1081cf33bf8af5c64c4666904241b0ee7fc38a85/DSC04904.jpg" data-mid="245092930" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/86c3ffe057110d7aa09fa2ef1081cf33bf8af5c64c4666904241b0ee7fc38a85/DSC04904.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a8c22865d5c7179828f997d544f63ee1e3357ebde1b55ab63d09d1f25eb7185f/DSC04656.jpg" data-mid="245092924" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a8c22865d5c7179828f997d544f63ee1e3357ebde1b55ab63d09d1f25eb7185f/DSC04656.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fd244f3b6371709dc9d4247407f65d83563509b2dcaa3fecc30c2528c221791a/DSC05150.jpg" data-mid="245092931" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fd244f3b6371709dc9d4247407f65d83563509b2dcaa3fecc30c2528c221791a/DSC05150.jpg" /> <img width="2536" height="3940" width_o="2536" height_o="3940" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/feb4d0a462d1af4219c2c5da90dd9a15ebe05ffcfd4124a31d387f6b39c43209/DSC05308-crop.jpg" data-mid="245092932" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/feb4d0a462d1af4219c2c5da90dd9a15ebe05ffcfd4124a31d387f6b39c43209/DSC05308-crop.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6d740125a5965e3b4ee7504b99402b9ab84bb3d0ced4c89c23b456ff5a880079/DSC04838.jpg" data-mid="245092929" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6d740125a5965e3b4ee7504b99402b9ab84bb3d0ced4c89c23b456ff5a880079/DSC04838.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7036522f316ac5deedcfe2cf4420de275e9e88036a742dfcfced1c3f4c3c8e1d/DSC05456.jpg" data-mid="245092933" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7036522f316ac5deedcfe2cf4420de275e9e88036a742dfcfced1c3f4c3c8e1d/DSC05456.jpg" /> <img width="4035" height="2695" width_o="4035" height_o="2695" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b840253f3f119c24962daa47103ec5de4517b0c596676235a92e1698e820d26a/DSC05468.jpg" data-mid="245092934" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b840253f3f119c24962daa47103ec5de4517b0c596676235a92e1698e820d26a/DSC05468.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea425ad3f61c4a747e24701ffc35843a4ad44e828c7e75ba07d702deea7e5095/DSC04669.jpg" data-mid="245092925" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea425ad3f61c4a747e24701ffc35843a4ad44e828c7e75ba07d702deea7e5095/DSC04669.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/949943ad66aa4e310602e4b435d2385bf6ac6940691f1da990e7a636358ccd63/DSC04791-2.jpg" data-mid="245092928" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/949943ad66aa4e310602e4b435d2385bf6ac6940691f1da990e7a636358ccd63/DSC04791-2.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/18c2a6d4b412653e6f5db2f5d9e59bb3b7cfcd0753cbc4cac3ac70d37c692064/DSC05564.jpg" data-mid="245092937" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/18c2a6d4b412653e6f5db2f5d9e59bb3b7cfcd0753cbc4cac3ac70d37c692064/DSC05564.jpg" /> LAist - illustration &amp;

was three, young enough to easily assimilate into American culture. But even though the bulk of my cultural connections are American, I know there is Iranian culture inside me — culture that is easy to ignore while walking through an American life.In this ongoing personal project, friends engage with artifacts of my familial culture. These objects, which are mostly meaningless to them, render the portraits inaccurate representations of who my friends are. Instead, these are images of the relationship between my American and Iranian selves. <img width="1289" height="1289" width_o="1289" height_o="1289" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b829f5b7b64d9840245b2a8ef336347741e0a5bd60d8bcd1830b67ee84229d3b/2021-02-27-0005.jpg" data-mid="245086665" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b829f5b7b64d9840245b2a8ef336347741e0a5bd60d8bcd1830b67ee84229d3b/2021-02-27-0005.jpg" /> <img width="1278" height="1278" width_o="1278" height_o="1278" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/82966fd7b8467e97a0178de90d634b067c48c4d18444713d3bbb67e8d87a45e3/2021-02-23-0002-9.jpg" data-mid="245086664" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/82966fd7b8467e97a0178de90d634b067c48c4d18444713d3bbb67e8d87a45e3/2021-02-23-0002-9.jpg" /> <img width="2423" height="2611" width_o="2423" height_o="2611" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c26f94667d79bcadb3930fb9519d96025e5e574b3545e3c8929e9f1ad450a5c9/2021-03-10-0021.jpg" data-mid="245086675" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c26f94667d79bcadb3930fb9519d96025e5e574b3545e3c8929e9f1ad450a5c9/2021-03-10-0021.jpg" /> <img width="2577" height="2605" width_o="2577" height_o="2605" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e98eef8c6b42ac838ebc0e1b0f901c46181ea7225678bc4d4d7f73623f22610c/2021-02-27-0008.jpg" data-mid="245086674" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e98eef8c6b42ac838ebc0e1b0f901c46181ea7225678bc4d4d7f73623f22610c/2021-02-27-0008.jpg" /> <img width="1914" height="1943" width_o="1914" height_o="1943" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f398282c4e096df30e01eb49a8e73e6895f4c976709f59b72e923f558d576277/alec-babel--3.jpg" data-mid="245086673" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f398282c4e096df30e01eb49a8e73e6895f4c976709f59b72e923f558d576277/alec-babel--3.jpg" /> <img width="4088" height="1946" width_o="4088" height_o="1946" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4a46fcaa2157c064d96b49fee50a9c2ccfea6a4080ef704d7d90657f8e405fc0/alyssa-babel-double-02.png" data-mid="245086672" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4a46fcaa2157c064d96b49fee50a9c2ccfea6a4080ef704d7d90657f8e405fc0/alyssa-babel-double-02.png" /> <img width="1238" height="1238" width_o="1238" height_o="1238" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5192cbfaf464d9aaafe89abe35863b4da291a1c16d760ee9a90a415499403617/2021-04-05-0005b-3.jpg" data-mid="245086667" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5192cbfaf464d9aaafe89abe35863b4da291a1c16d760ee9a90a415499403617/2021-04-05-0005b-3.jpg" /> <img width="2356" height="2356" width_o="2356" height_o="2356" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/130957d6f5b145b6f4a36accf2e3fe7d2f15945e3eeb6c15d831cb2508bfcb89/Kamalizad_babelJANE_24x30_Q1-copy.jpg" data-mid="245086671" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/130957d6f5b145b6f4a36accf2e3fe7d2f15945e3eeb6c15d831cb2508bfcb89/Kamalizad_babelJANE_24x30_Q1-copy.jpg" /> https://alborzkamalizad.com/Rise-Up-Be-Heard-01 Sat, 28 May 2022 16:31:33 +0000 Alborz Kamalizad https://alborzkamalizad.com/Rise-Up-Be-Heard-01 RISE UP BE HEARD Young journalists are changing the way journalism is done.
