• Biography
  Siar is an engineer with a deep-rooted love for travel, drawn to the stories within places and the moments they hold, preserved through photography. During the 2020 COVID lockdown, this passion was more openly shared, evolving from a personal journey into international recognition. Within a year, Siar’s photographs were recognised in competitions - from New York to Moscow, Paris to Tokyo - and featured in The Times, The Telegraph, and Smithsonian Magazine. What began as simple recognition evolved into a quiet honour in capturing fleeting, often unnoticed moments.
