I was born in 1981 in Iran, Tabriz. I have started photography in ‎‎1999 in a studio and decided to choose the art of photography with my mother’s incentive encouragements in fact the sense of creation in art has always fascinated human being to itself. My enthusiast in photography leads me to try different fields of ‎photography such as nature, architecture and documentary photography and later I had ‎chosen documentary photography as my main major of photography. I love to ‎communicate with people and get familiar with their traditions and ceremonies. I love photography because it can make me perpetual and permanent. Via photography I learned not to simply ignore even the trivial events. When I consider the photos of well-known photographers Henri Cartier Bresson, Sebastiyao Salgado, Steve Mccurry, James Nachtwey, Abbas Attar, Reza Deghati and other outstanding artists. I can make relationship with their subjects.

 

I also love photography because it brings me about trips and a lot of experience. During Qajar dynasty simultaneously with Tehran, my hometown, Tabriz was the birthplace of photography in Iran and it has some outstanding photographers in the photography history. Photography in Tabriz is sentimental and some of Tabrizian photographer's works are different from other Iranian ones.

 

During these years I have produced images of humanitarian issues that have made headlines in Iran and the Middle East. I have dedicated to documenting Iranian life to produce an unflinching record of their life. My images, which focus on raising awareness of human rights, have been published in the v several foreign and Iranian newspapers and news agencies. I have also documented Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey.
