Arvanaghy Graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Press Photography from the News College of Tehran. He has worked with several news agencies and photo agencies for a short time after graduation. However, Arvanaghy felt that the news agency atmosphere was not compatible with his morals, and changed his path to work as a freelance photographer in the social documentary and street photography fields. Since then Arvanaghy has engaged with multimedia and video art. He went on to participate in 18 group photo exhibitions, a solo exhibition and several domestic and foreign festivals.
