    Bronze in Architecture / Bridges

Urban bridges appear rigid and purely functional at first glance. This series reveals how their curved concrete forms bend sunlight into shifting fields of shadow and light, softening mass and weight into something almost sculptural. Within this monumental scale, small human traces emerge — a passing shadow, a lone figure beneath the overpass. These brief presences show that even the most utilitarian structures hold quiet moments of stillness and life.

Salman Bohlouli is an Iranian photographer born on 16February1988 in KazemAbad village,Khomein,Markazi Province, Iran, and currently based in Isfahan. He works professionally as a chemist while pursuing photography as both an artistic and professional practice. He began photography professionally in 2023, exploring a diverse range of genres including wildlife, nature and landscape, documentary, fine art, architecture, portraiture, and minimalist photography. At the heart of Salman Bohlouli's photographic approach is the desire to **highlight what others may easily pass by**.
