About me
Behind the Lens
I love my eyes. My desire to see the life's most important moments, has been a driving force to me, as long as I can remember.
My philosophy is simple: The less my subject is complicated, the deeper my mind can travel to its hidden mysteries. I truly enjoy to observe and capture the priceless, timeless moments of life.
In trying to connect the people's mind to the vast world of amazes behind apparently familiar, but deeply forgotten subjects of everyday life; I often loan insights from my anterior heroes. They mostly were lived in ages that the camera even not had been invented, but they had enough ability to draw a picture of endless heavenly passion they attained. I try to be a photographer of rhymes, although the essence of photography may not be in this case.
I'm fascinated by the simple poetry and paintings of free-spirited contemporary Persian poet and painter; "Sohrab Sepehri", whose language is the symbol of eastern Sufism and fountain of inspiration for mine. I borrowed some of his masterwork paintings in my WebPages as well, to show the enigmatic and fascinating force of simplicity in transferring the heavy burden of meanings in visual art. I always try to take a shot of a real scene, resembling to some of his fanciful and simple drawings.
"I'm forever walking upon these shores; betwixt the sand and the foam.
The hight tide will erase my footprints, and the wind will blow away the foam; but the sea and the shore will remain forever ...
- Gibran Khalil Gibran

I'm an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer as well. Astronomy is a subject of my interest, because the night sky gives me the joy of witnessing the bare beauty. Celestial scenes and the whole sky in particular, are metaphor of "vastness" and "deliverance" in my photos. Aside from the stagnant nature of stars and constellations, for me, each astrophoto has its own words to say something completely new.
I have also recently started to work in a new photography style; this time in the frame of an intermediate-sized portrait studio, thanks to insisting efforts of my cool father. Maybe not so relevant to the deep feelings of capturing the intimate natural scenes, portraiture could be a new tool to resurrect the childhood spirit which is known of its sincerity, in the way that is compatible with adult.
I born in 1989 in Ardakan (Iran) and began my photographic career in 2003.
I truly enjoy what I do.
