I am an Iranian-born American photographer/attorney. I began to take pictures at the age of 11 when my father, a journalist, gave me my first camera, immediately making anyone and anything fair game for my lens. When I immigrated to the United States, in 1980, I was supposed to study the sciences. But that was not to be. After graduating from college, I moved to Los Angeles where I began a career in commercial photography, shooting music and art celebrities and models. My works have appeared in various publications, including Interview Magazine. In 1995, I placed my career in commercial photography on hold, moved to Chicago, went to law school, and opened up my private law firm in 2001. I was the co-founder of Hello Artichoke, a Los Angeles-based cooperative art gallery. I am also a co-founder of Margin Gallery, a Chicago-based cooperative art gallery. My work was exhibited at Margin Gallery’s Group Show in Chicago, during October, 2007. My works have most recently been exhibited in the Artist Project — a juried exhibition of emerging and established artists worldwide >>> art gallery & collective 1234 next › last »
