In Wind
is a creative studio born from movement, multiplicity, and memory. Like the wind, we are untethered yet rooted in every place we’ve touched. Our identity flows from the idea that we are all carried—by time, by origins, by change. Based in Paris, yet shaped by many homes, we embrace the transient beauty of belonging everywhere and nowhere. Each creation carries the imprint of journey—nomadic, intimate, and alive.
Finding our voice through films, our vision is shared through advertisement campaigns ranging from product to personal, from big screens to smartphones, finding where voices need to be heard.
Our team spans English, French, Persian, and German.
Thousands have viewed and downloaded our photographs from prominent publications and outlets. Driven by a passion for capturing emotions, fleeting moments, and breathtaking landscapes, we’ve combined this passion with our expertise to present an exclusive in-person workshop for those interested in learning how to capture the essence of Paris.
Shani and Ethan, Parisian transplants for four years, have dedicated their time to photography, filmmaking, and exploring the city.
Ethan, raised between the US and France, spent his summers in Paris, immersing himself in the city’s vibrant arts scene and particularly its captivating landscapes.
Shani (Shaghayegh), having grown up in Iran and later residing in Austria, moved to Paris. She has directed two short films and found her place in the city. Shani possesses a keen eye for capturing natural portraits and fleeting human emotions.
With years of experience in photography, we’ve honed our skills in lighting, composition, and color theory, We’ve put together an exclusive in-person workshop for small groups that’ll help you learn and master photography, no matter your skill level, even mobile photography!
We look to connect with you soon,
