Collections
Nighttime; Escape Zone
I labeled every alley and street with the name of the music I was listening to. I stood in front of the houses, listening to the sound of the street at night and my chosen song in silence."
This collection represent moments when I escape in the presence of music, the city, night, and observation, and in safety.
DEPRIVATION
Initially, the goal of compiling this collection was to express personal emotional conflicts and incidents that occurred at the time. However, after further reflection on such experiences, it became clear to me that this is a struggle that we, as a young generation in Iran, all face in different ways. That is why I decided to depict this universal conflict.
The name of my collection is "Deprivation, حرمان" which means hopelessness and frustration in Persian. Because it reflects how we are currently frustrated and terrified.
Backstages
A selected series of photos which taken during the years from the backstages of the music concerts that I was resposible to document them.
Mainly from Istanbul and Tehran.
Remarkable memories, nice people, amazing music and wonderful atmosphere.
Eevents
Workshops and events are one of the most amazing locations I'd like to go to and capture every moment of it. You may be wondering why.
Because, as a photographer, you have the ability to examine all the details and discover the finest moment to capture them, if you choose the correct time and place to do it. The most exciting part is when you become invisible after a time. Because everyone accepts your presence and feels at ease when acting naturally in front of the camera, they will no longer consider the camera as a stranger.
Studio visits
When I first started working as a visual storyteller at Kunstwerkt, I had the incredible opportunity to record artists' studios all throughout Belgium. I always look forward to catching interesting people, settings, lives, and enjoyable conversations while capturing the studios. Through my job, I've met a wide range of wonderful artists with the most beautiful souls I've ever met.
Clothes and Jewelry
Everything, in my opinion, involves light. It doesn't matter if we're talking about a piece of cloth, a ring, or a milkshake; I'll try to think of the best way to capture the most pleasing picture of it interacting with light.
Coffee and Food
Photographing cafes and restaurants appears to be the most delicious form of photography. It is, but it is extremely difficult to avoid eating and focus just on photography. All those colors and smells...
Aside from jokes, I don't consider this to be product photography. It pleases me that I can do it in a setting where everyone else is eating, drinking, and laughing. It's delightful to hear people laugh and enjoy their time with friends or alone. It's always enjoyable for me!
