About this pro
I focus a lot on the power of story telling. I also care about how you can turn photography to a business. I started my journey with writing short stories for a magazine back in Iran. Not too long after, I started making visuals and photos for most of the stories in the magazine. My job was to read the stories and make cover photos for them. And I did all of that with my 20$ compact camera.
I love teaching, I’ve taught drumming, writing, film and photography so far. Teaching makes you responsible for learning, the more I learn the more I can share.
