Born in Tehran, and raised between Tehran and Paris, I graduated from the University of Art & Architecture (BA, major in Photography) and I’ve been working in the field since.
A move to Dubai led to contacts with international photo agencies, including the “Associated Press News Agency” where I worked as photojournalist for 7 years.
Throughout the years, I’ve worked with agencies and international clients around the world as well collaborating with non-profit organizations and working on projects that are very close to my heart.
