We all travel through life trying to discover who we really are. And through this process, we come across choices that help us explore the possibilities.

Well, until now I can say my art is a big part of who I am. I have not yet discovered my complete and true self, or my purpose on this earth. But I can say that my photography will play a significant role on the molding of my time. My site, neshaat.com, is a way for me to share myself and my outlook on life with the rest of the world.

Neshaat is an old Persian word which means pleasure. Classical Persian poets such as Hafez, Rumi, and Omar Khayyam used neshaat in their work to describe the bliss they were experiencing. I hope you can also take some pleasure, and experience some bliss through my work. Here is a selection of 13 photos:
