My journey began in 2009 when I saw myself breakdancing on an old camera screen. Since then, my life has been an adventure through the lenses of various cameras, each revealing a unique world.
I’ve had the privilege of shooting and editing four documentaries, one of which won three international festival awards. My work includes an Emmy-winning project for HBO titled Hostages, as well as projects for Vice, PBS, the United Nations, and numerous local businesses in Iran. Currently, I am working on a personal project creating short documentaries featuring artists based in Iran. This project stems from my curiosity to understand how other artists think and see the world, to meet great people along the way, and to showcase the vibrant art scene of Iran to the world. Explore the works section of my website to see my projects and journey unfold.
