I take pictures and photograph scenes and sights in the artwork field. I started photography for the first time in 1986. During Iran & Iraq war, with a small camera 110, I took photographs; then I continued preliminary photography in 1990, when I bought a Minolta 135.

I take pictures in social, news, sports, nature and portrait field practically. At present, I am one of the sport news photographers, who work for Physical Education Administration in our city and province. I also work for 2 weekly-provincial newspaper called “People Look” and “Rey’s Young” as a reporter.

I have participated in several national & international photography contests and I have been appreciated several times in national competitions.

I should mention that the most important facts on my photography was taking pictures from Final Football Match between Iran and Bahrain teams for World Cup; and also taking pictures from the army aircraft crash (C-130) in Tehran, which many reporters were killed. I couldn't continue taking pictures because they confiscated my camera and I had been arrested for 4 hours.
