Erwin Parviz's photographic style is defined by intense images, often deliberately blurred and full of shadows. His work captures the chaotic and tumultuous experiences he endures, using his environment as a canvas to reflect these emotions. Through his lens, he documents the world around him in a way that reflects his inner turmoil, creating a visual narrative that resonates with the rawness of his experiences. His images challenge the viewer to confront the complexities of existence.

Erwin's work is renowned for its intense, raw and often disturbing exploration of the human psyche. He fearlessly delves into the darkest recesses of the mind, tackling themes such as addiction, self-inflicted suffering, self-doubt and the lives of those pushed to the margins of society. His creations are a visceral journey into the most disturbing aspects of the human experience.

The work of photographers such as Saul Leiter, Anders Petersen, Daido Moriyama and, perhaps most importantly, Antoine d'Agata has had a profound effect on him. The German Expressionists of the inter-war period and the graphic novel artists of the first half of the 20th century also inspired him greatly, including Lynd Ward, Giacomi Patri and Laurence Hyde.
