Majid Koorang Beheshti was born in Isfahan city. He graduated with a master's degree in painting and started photography professionally in the early 80s. The first solo exhibition of this artist was at Iran Photographers Center in 1998. In 1999, he won the prize of the chosen painter in the international competition of the dialogue of civilizations held in Tehran. Koorang's first international appearance was in 2005, at the group exhibition "Contemporary Photo of Iran" in Montparnasse, France. Three years later, the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Arts exhibited the works of this photographer in a solo exhibition entitled "Inner Eye: A Perspective." In the following years, Koorang cooperated with galleries such as afrand, Rah-e-Abrisham, Azad Gallery, etc., and exhibited his works many times individually and in groups.
He has a scenic approach to photography. This characteristic was more visible and bolder in his photos in the late 2000s and early 2010s. His photos' general atmosphere, the type of lighting, and the mise-en-scène and figures' postures are all logical functions of the show and narrative. In most of the photos of this artist, an apocalyptic and dark situation prevails. Cloudy and smoky skies, dilapidated concrete and metal buildings, and the poses of the figures all express this quality. It's as if his photos depict human civilization the day after a mysterious disaster.
Most of Koorang's pictures in the first period of his photography were black and white, but in the late 2000s, he also added color to his images. Although these colors still pass through a dull and muted filter and match the apocalyptic situation. He also uses the photomontage technique in his scenes. The "City Notebook" photo collection is a perfect example of understanding the visual world of Koorang. A collection that brings together all the discussed qualities in one place. By including familiar religious figures such as Ashqiya, Olya (characters of Ta'ziyeh), and Amo firooz in the corners of some of his frames, he gives his works a native color and flavor in addition to adding dramatic connotations. Koorang's works have been published in the form of a series of photographs such as "Zel," "Parseh," "Vos'at-e-Bivajeh," and "From the Carving of Broken Doors and Walls."
