Chervine was born in Tehran, raised in Paris, and is now based in New York. A self-taught photographer, he explores urban life and everyday moments through a cinematic chiaroscuro. Working only with natural light, he rejects staging, cropping, or retouching, preserving the integrity of each instant. His work has been exhibited internationally in Paris, Geneva, New York, Miami, and Venice, with highlights including Paris Photo, Photo London, Photo Basel, and AIPAD in New York. He is represented by Galerie Esther Woerdehoff in Paris and Geneva. His photographs have appeared in Marie Claire Italy, Libération, and The Eye of Photography. His work has been recognized with honors including 3rd Place (Series) in the 2025 LensCulture Street Photography Awards, the reFocus World Photo Annual People’s Vote Award (2024 & 2025), and the reFocus Silver Award (2025) in the Street category. In 2025, his first book, The Shape of Color, is being published by Snap Collective. Spanning a decade of work, it traces how color moves through the urban fabric, capturing moments at once transient and timeless.
