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 2007, 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. She is an 82-year-old woman, powerful and proud, who refuses to be defined by age or physical frailty. She wears red nail polish, attends concerts, and when offered the lead role in a short film, she joyfully accepts.
A woman rooted in the worlds of politics and art, she and her family were forced to flee Iran during the 1979 revolution, eventually settling in France.
This photographic series brings together the perspectives of two women—one young, one old—and the dialogue between their lives and generations.
The images were created over the course of eight months of shared life with Shahrbanou, in a beautiful Parisian apartment filled with stories, laughter, and memory
“Whose roles do the chairs take on?”
It is an autumn morning. I walk to the Luxembourg Gardens—a park nearly empty of people, yet filled with humanity and quiet contemplation.
I look around and notice chairs scattered among imagined gatherings. Some seem to be watching me. Others appear to be engaged in conversation with the chair facing them. Small clusters sit together as though enjoying time with friends.
In one corner, a group of chairs appears to be watching a scene from a Shakespearean play. Elsewhere, a single chair leans its head against a tree—as if quietly weeping.
This is a collection of poetic moments, where the chairs of the park take on the gestures, roles, and emotions of human beings.
Charis
"Paris, the city of eternal contradictions"
This collection was born from encounters with the underground layers of human urban life in Paris.
The so-called “City of Light” reveals a different reality beneath its surface—where tunnels, corridors, and hidden spaces shelter those who have been forgotten. These images were captured over the course of two years, exploring the lives and presences that exist below ground.
Gradually, other photographs were added, reflecting the muted world of the underpasses and their inhabitants.
The contrast between the visible, polished surface of Paris and its shadowy underground inspired the title of this collection: “AHANG.”
In Persian, this word means “song”, but it is also a poetic combination of two roots: “Ahan” (iron) and the letter “G”, forming a word that evokes both the hardness of metal and the resonance of music.
A song of steel. A sound from underneath.
