Majid Koorang Beheshti was born in 1967 in Isfahan. He holds a master’s degree in painting and began his professional journey in photography in the early 1980s. His first solo exhibition was held in 1998 at the Iran Photographers Center. In 1999, he won the award for "Selected Painter" at the International Dialogue of Civilizations Competition in Tehran.

Koorang's first international appearance came in 2005, when his works were showcased in the group exhibition "Contemporary Photography of Iran" at Montparnasse, France. Three years later, the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art presented a solo exhibition of his works titled "The Inner Eye: A Perspective." In subsequent years, Koorang collaborated with galleries such as Afrand, Silk Road, and Azad in Tehran, exhibiting his works in numerous solo and group exhibitions.

Koorang Beheshti adopts a staged approach in his photography, a characteristic that became more pronounced in his works from the late 2000s to the early 2010s. The general atmosphere of his photographs, the lighting style, the mise-en-scène, and the postures of his figures all follow a theatrical and narrative logic. His works often depict an apocalyptic and somber vision. Elements such as cloudy and smoky skies, dilapidated concrete and metal structures, and the poses of his figures contribute to this dystopian quality. It feels as though his photographs capture human civilization in the aftermath of a mysterious catastrophe.

In the early phase of his career, Koorang primarily worked in black and white. However, by the late 2000s, he began incorporating color into his images. Even then, the colors remain muted and subdued, aligning with the apocalyptic tone of his compositions. He also employs the photomontage technique to create intricate and layered visual narratives.

Koorang's "City Notebook" series is an exemplary representation of his visual world, encapsulating the distinctive elements of his style. In some of these works, he integrates familiar cultural and religious figures, such as "Ashqiya" and "Olya" from Ta’ziyeh performances, as well as "Amoo Nowruz," into the corners of his frames. This approach not only enriches the dramatic aspects of his work but also lends it a uniquely local essence.

Koorang's works have been published in notable series such as "Zel," "Wander," "The Boundless Vastness," and "From the Carvings of Broken Doors and Walls."
