The personal life of his language has been quoted: I am a desert. My father is Kermanian and I was born in Yazd, I studied for the fourth prep in Yazd. When I came to Tehran, my mental background still had the same desert areas and my mind was warm and dry even during a student who had climbed to the resort heights several times. During his military and return in Ghaemshahr, May and forests put a lot of influence on me. Those days, the houses and villas of the forests were not shaved. I was photographing the day with a normal lens and later I was able to buy a cheap telephoto lens to get a great view of nature’s prey. The same interest was later led to the environmental organization. Even the love of sailing took time in my shape. Photography began for me from home and school. I got the sixth prep, my father, a camera of my chest. I remember the third grade of our crafts and we had to go to the workshop and we would have to do a carpenter. Our Chemistry secretary was a German graduate and proposed to the school manager that could teach people who like to do photography instead of carpentry. The same suggestion made a dark house and learn the advent of the photo. From there I was interested in photography seriously. During the period of the university, my sport reached its seriousness. I changed three academic disciplines, first I read a foreign language course and then I left the chemistry but finally the two. I wanted to go to the University of Fine Arts that the family opposed. I was also opposed to studying physical education and finally I read industrial accounting. In all these periods of exercise and photography was serious to me, but after the university and in the course of military service I got my first professional photos.
My sports experience starts from the Championships in Athletics, and the championships in university and country. I was active in my high school and university in ten disciplines and I was at the same time as a member of the Tehran swimming team. Almost from the first year of the university, I was playing basketball for two years under the late and I was in the university team, also a member of the National sailing team, and then the head of the Federation of Sailing. I said to this point that I believe that every technical would be taught. Exercise will also be taught as a fan, and ultimately in the form of coaching that each person has his or her capabilities in that field are low or high. Although the compatibility of each person’s body is very important with the sports field of choice, but a place may be a human mentality in a higher definition and a person will gain skills that make him unique in some cases. Even in the field of behavioral analysis, the person goats the behavior that he recognizes, and even give him some gimmicks.
Photography is also an in the same way. You can learn photography techniques but a lot more in photography is necessary to take you out of the cinematographer from a particular moment and style it in the realm of the owner. In order to photograph your personal frame, you need to learn something else. When your work needs to be interpreted and benefit from other knowledge such as semiotics in the interpretation of your photos, or your photo analysis enters infrastructure like sociology and philosophy, it is time for you to be a photographer only to learn a weirdo fan, but also to be determined. You have entered a field that brings the title of the artist to you. Actually you have an overall space of how the photo is getting into how to make a picture inserted.
