About The Instructor

Hesam Rezaei is an artist and art instructor. English literature as a field of study for his B.A. let him experience a kind of photography that could be equivalent to poetry. He has a master’s degree in fine arts from the University of Calgary.

While he considers practicing photography as an epistemological journey, most of his works focus on pedagogic, collaborative, and participatory arts with an eye on the meaning of perception. The key concept in practicing photography for him is confronting and understanding different perceptions. Following contemporary Art theories, he brings his photography classes to participatory pedagogic artworks. He thinks being an Art teacher and being an Artist simultaneously means producing as well as teaching.
