2025 Photo Awards Winner: Sima Choubdarzadeh
"Studying philosophy didn't just teach me theories; it changed the way I think. It helped me question social and traditional frameworks, and break them when needed, so I can look at reality more directly."
"Migration was not what I expected at all. I went through a kind of emotional and mental breakdown, and I had to rebuild myself from the ground up. I am still in that process."
"The 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement was not a temporary political moment, but the manifestation of years of resistance and struggle by women."
Sima Choubdarzadeh, an award-winning documentary photographer based in Berlin, won the Portrait category in the fourth annual Photo Awards. Her work focuses on migration, identity, and resistance, influenced by her background in philosophy. Three significant life experiences shaped her: studying philosophy, which changed her thinking; her migration journey, which involved emotional rebuilding; and her involvement in the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement, representing years of women's resistance and struggle.
