Forough Yavari Forough Yavari 是一位屢獲殊榮的藝術肖像和時尚攝影師，居住在澳洲墨爾本。 她的作品聚焦於描繪世界各地女性生活背後的故事。
Forough 出生於伊朗革命期間的伊朗，並在戰爭期間度過八年的童年時光。Forough 從小就對藝術充滿熱情，孩提時代就對想像中的主題進行速寫和繪畫。 她接著在大學正式學習繪畫，並在為一位攝影系學生當模特兒時，發現自己對攝影的熱愛。
Forough 開始創作數位藝術，結合她在繪畫和攝影方面的知識和技術專長。 2011 年，她移居澳洲，在那裡建立了自己的攝影事業，並成為一名國際攝影師。 作為一位來自中東國家的女性，她越來越發現自己的作品深受個人經歷的影響。 她對女性議題的興趣促成一系列的影像作品：《Revision of Portraits》、《Eternal Icons》和《Salvation》，這些作品曾在伊朗和澳洲展出。
2018 年，Forough 取得澳洲專業攝影學院（Australian Institute of Professional Photography，AIPP）攝影碩士學位。 她於 2019 年取得國際婚禮及肖像攝影協會（Wedding and Portrait Photographers International，WPPI）攝影碩士學位，並於 2020 年被 WPPI 授予攝影雙碩士學位。 2021 年，她再以優異的成績從紐西蘭專業攝影學院（New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography，NZIPP）獲得攝影碩士學位。
