Shahla Bebe has been a Los Angeles-based photographer since 1996. Her work is
informed by her background as a graphic artist and is emotionally motivated by her
socio-cultural and environmental sensibilities. For her, photography is a way of seeing.
From this perspective, every person and every thing is a complex of secrets and
paradoxes not always revealed to the naked eye. To the extent that the photographer
enables the lens to capture even a glimmer of this complexity, she will have given voice
to an image that would speak revealingly to the viewer.
Shahla's work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
In 2007, “Butterfly Dancer” selected in APA (Advertising Photographers of America.)
group show among of 3000 commercial photographs.
