About Me
When I was 17 years old, I was a student in high school. One day my father brought me a computer which the photoshop program was in it, I spent my time on it. In that time I was not having a camera, but I was taking photos of my friends by their cameras and if we did not get a camera I was taking the photos by using the mobile phone and then editing them at home, and those times were precious to me and filled me with joy.
After I graduated from high school, I went to institute of sports and I graduated successfully from there although I did not like that department, and if I could go back in time I would not choose that department. After my graduation from the institute. My mother sold out two of her golden bracelets and she bought me a NikonD90 camera, I was so happy. And daily, I was taking photos of nature and for my friends too. Everyone was happy for me and for the photos which I was taking for them. Also, I have got to know many photographers in my city and I always wanted to benefit from their experiences.
After a couple of years and having so many struggles. I opened an office which specializes in photography work. It was the first office to be opened in my city. I work there, and by the time, I have changed my camera and I have also bought the needed tools for the camera. Now I'm still ongoing.
