Soraya Zaman is a photographer in New York City.
Born in Sydney, Australia, and based in New York City, Soraya Zaman is a visual artist whose practice bridges photography, mixed media, and sculpture. With a career spanning over a decade, Zaman is known for their compelling explorations of identity and the nuanced intersections of personal and collective narratives.
Their critically acclaimed series, American Boys (published by Daylight Books in 2019), documents the lives of trans-masculine individuals across the United States. This series not only resonated with audiences but also cemented Zaman’s reputation as an artist deeply committed to elevating underrepresented voices. The project was exhibited at Melbourne’s Fed Square in 2022 and has been added to the permanent collection of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
Recently, Zaman has expanded their practice through the SoMad artist residency in New York City. This pivotal experience has enabled them to experiment with still life and mixed media, pushing their artistic boundaries and integrating sculptural elements into their work. Their current explorations reflect a refined engagement with materiality and form.
Zaman’s work has been featured in galleries and public spaces internationally, demonstrating its universal appeal and relevance. With a practice that transcends traditional genres, Zaman continues to create work that is both socially resonant and visually arresting.
