Photography is my passion. I enjoy creating images, and I love working with people. Everyone is unique, and I always try to capture a little more than just a facade. In a lovely winter day of 1977 when I was only 12, I went to a friend who gave me my first photography lesson, He also gave me 4 roles of 120 B&W negative for my Lubitle camera which was my father’s before! … That Norouz (Iranian new year) was a colorful one, I can remember by those lessons I got the hole negatives correctly exposed and printed and it was a good start for my photography which I continued it by studying and shooting together for next years. 1986 I joined to Iranian Young Cinema Society and shoot a movie for Shahriar Tavakoli (one of my friends) and I got the best photography award for that … it was also a good beginning for my film making activities although I had studied civil engineering! 1988 I got three awards for my own movie ” Bandar Abbas &…” (best photography, best music, best mixing) 1993 I got the best award for photography of movie ” Jahleh ” in Iran (this movie got some awards from international festivals). I was in Tehran for more than 12 years working with IRIB (Iranian TV) and some advertising companies as well. I moved to Dubai in 2003 worked with different companies and magazines as a freelance photographer and TV director, and I got an award from Dubai Police for making a documentary. I came back to my country; Iran, in 2010, Working in my career and also teaching in universities. I have set my goals to always improve my craft. My quest to become a better photographer will never cease. I personally thinks that the learning curve is endless, and I have only myself to criticize when I feel I am not living up to my artistic endeavors. I am constantly searching for those rare magical moments when the Perfect Light embraces nature in all its glory.
