Professional Summary :
From the beginning of my photographic journey, I have immersed myself in the pursuit of
international recognition, shaping my identity as an artist with a global vision and impact.
With a career spanning more than two decades, my lens has documented the nuances of
diverse cultures and human experiences — from the vibrant and bustling streets of Tehran to
the serene and contemplative landscapes of Japan. The international stage gradually became a
canvas for my work, leading to prestigious honors such as the Grand Prize at the Nikon Photo
Contest (2021) and the First Place Award at Pictures of the Year Asia (2022). I am also
recognized as a holder of the UK Global Talent Visa in Photography under the Exceptional
Talent pathway, which further underlines the global resonance of my practice. My
photographs have been exhibited across the world, including the Nikon Photo Exhibition in
Tokyo’s Museum Park, reflecting both the reach and universality of my artistic voice.
Beyond the awards and exhibitions, I am deeply committed to education and artistic
development within the community. Since 2014, I have devoted myself to teaching and
mentoring, establishing my own training center to cultivate and inspire the next generation of
photographers. My engagement also extends to serving as a jury member in renowned
festivals, where I contribute to shaping the discourse of contemporary photography.
While photography remains at the heart of my practice, its visual language naturally led me to
explore other forms of storytelling. This journey culminated in the creation of my short
documentary film “Into Zephyr”, a project born directly from my photographic vision. The
film, as an extension of my commitment to visual narratives, has been screened at
international festivals including KLIFA in Malaysia and the Universal Film Festival in the
United States, further reinforcing my belief in the transformative and universal power of
images.
