1995-2012
Lived in
the South of Iran
I was raised in Ahvaz, a city which is famous for hosting a massive petroleum reservoir. Early in my childhood, my family found out about my passion for visual arts where they would always find me binge watching the TV commercials, or gazing at the advertisement billboards all across the city. Later on during my teenagehood, I became obsessed with blending realism to my imaginative ideas, and that was where I was drawn to the art of Photography
2013-2018
Green University
To revive my passion for visual arts in an academic setting, I decided to pursue a Masters of Fine Arts in Photography at Soore University. Soore University is one of the best academic centers which is solely focused on art majors. Soon I became one of the Soore’s Photographers’ Society member, through which I met other artists and we ran some collaborative art projects together. These projects were mostly concentrated on the iranian contemporary visual culture and visual anthropology of middle east.

PhotoShop
WorkShop at
AUT
This was a 6 months intensive teaching program in which 30 students from different universities are picked to learn about editing, design thinking and lean methodologies. It was an amazing teaching experience for me.
Since 2013
Freelancing
The pandemic hit at a time in which I was extremely involved in many projects. Instead of letting it become an excuse, I did everything I could to see the opportunities in the situation. This allowed me to organise better and work on bigger and higher quality projects.
2022
And still going
I love what I do so much. My freelance business is growing, and so are the clients I work with. This is the best possible thing I could have hoped for. Big and ambitious projects coming soon.
