Vali-Asr Street
This photos are representation of street and documentary photography of Vali- Asr street in Iran. Vali-Asr street is very old and famous in my home town Tehran, of course not as old and famous as “Oxford Street”, “Champs-Eyeless” or “Fifth Avenue”, but none of them are as old as “Silk Road”. The length of Vali-Asr street is 19.9Km and it is known as the longest street in the Middle East. During the journey from North to South I found a stark contrast in Vali-asr street which will be presented in this series. This book captures the essence of Vali-asr street through the people, places and memories of its history past and present.
All the people in this book are in their natural state

Hejamat therapy is an Islamic traditional remedy. Hejamat therapy is to remove the bad blood in a specific way. They believe this rituals takes the blood cells to the normal quorum and activates the system. However in Iran as the country with Persian history and different language it become combing of Persian and Islamic culture together. This series took in Iran/ Tehran on Spring 2016
Feeling Never Fade
This album is some of the picture of the the book "Feeling Never Fade", which contains a series of photographs that I took in Iran between 2OO8 to 2O1O. These photographs centre around the children who work on the streets of Tehran. This group includes illegal immigrants from Afghanistan, many of which do not have legal papers so they can’t attend school. The children of the streets have been deprived of family care and often their parents are mostly unemployed or involved in drug trafficking. I photographed them in collaboration with the non-governmental organisation (NGO). Their status as illegal immigrants causes them many problems; they have to work on the streets to earn money for their family. Living and growing up outside of a normal family environment forces them into premature adulthood due to the burdens they have to carry. Yet, when they are given the opportunity to go to school without pressure, they instinctively want to play, laugh and learn like other children of the same age. During my time I taught them basic art for a period of three months which in turn provided me with an unforgettable experience and gave me a new perspective on life. Even with all troubles surrounding them, they would never forget how to be happy. In this school along with learning the ordinary lessons they also become taught about other aspects of life. For instance, they learn how to protect each other in society, how to talk, and behave appropriately. The children learn about democracy and human rights; consequently, they learn the benefits of equal opportunities for men and women alike. Through these photographs I wished to explore the happier side of living, working and the overall street environment.
Patience
In front of the Stockholm palace there is a boarder between salt water (river) and fresh water (sea), which is really amazing place for fishing in the central of the city. A lot of people are coming here every day at different time of the day for relaxing and think , Although it’s FREE. Other places such as lacks around Stockholm, people should pay each year for fishing.
