Photography, to me, is all about seeing and hearing the world differently. A photographer possesses the unique ability to offer a fresh perspective, capturing what often goes unnoticed by most.
My photographic journey began in 2008, fueled by my fascination with the way photographers interpret the world. It taught me to appreciate details, the importance of storytelling through visuals, and the ability to see and record things that elude ordinary observation.
This profound connection between photography and UX/UI design shapes my approach. I apply the same attention to detail, visual storytelling, and unique perspective to create user-friendly digital experiences. My background in photography equips me to capture not just pixels but emotions, crafting interfaces that engage, inform, and delight users.
Banou
"Lady"
“Shahrbanou” is an Iranian name. An eighty-two-year-old woman who is powerful and does not want to be burdened by old age and infirmity. She wears red nail polish, goes to concert, and when we offer her the lead role in a short film, she happily accepts. A woman from politics and art world, that the 1957 Iranian revolution forced her and her family to immigrate to France. This collection confronts the two worlds of an old and a young woman.
The photos in this collection are the result of eight months of common life with “Shahrbanou” in a beautiful apartment in Paris.
“Whose roles do the chairs take on?”
In the morning, it is one of the autumn days, I walk to Luxemburg Park. A park empty of people, but very human and worthy of reflection. I look everywhere and I see a chair in the group of people who are either watching me or talking to the chair in front of them or they have gathered with their friends and are spending time. In another place, the chairs are sitting watching a theater scene from Shakespeare, and Somewhere else, a lonely chair rests its head on a tree and cries.
This is a collection of stories about park chairs that human characters have taken on.
PS:
Luxembourg Park, located in Cartier Latin of Paris, is one of the largest urban parks in the world. Due to its geographical location and its proximity to the Sorbonne University, this park has long been a gathering place for students and prominent academic figures.

"Paris, the city of eternal contradictions"
Encountering the underground layers of human urban life in Paris inspired the collection that is in front of your eyes. "The city, which is known as the city of light, has accommodated homeless people under its land, which is not the same as what we see on the ground. The photos of this collection were photographed during two years.
Little by little, other photos have been added to this collection, reflecting the world of people in the underpasses of Paris.
The contradiction that prevails the upper and lower layers of the city of Paris was the basis for choosing the name of this collection as "AHANG". in Persian language, this word is composed from Ahan(Iron) plus G which create a new word AHANG (song).
