Tajrish

Tajrish Square, a renowned spot in northern Tehran, is my frequent destination for shopping and leisurely strolls. The area's lively atmosphere never wanes, making it a delightful visit anytime.

Enqelab Street

Enghelab Street, at the heart of Tehran, spans around 5 kilometers, making it one of the city's longest streets, about one-third the length of Valiasr Street. It was primarily built to provide access to the prestigious University of Tehran.

Roaming in a strange city

Birmingham, centrally located in England, is celebrated for its rich blend of cultures, religions, and styles. As a newcomer, my camera became my lens to explore and connect with the diverse citizens of the city. Through photography, I aimed to capture the vibrant mix of people in the city center.

Abandoned

Fly tipping, a major issue in certain areas, involves people, especially in larger cities and lower-income neighborhoods, illegally disposing of unwanted items on streets, fields, and roads. The sheer volume of dumped items is often overwhelming, despite being against the law.

From my window

With everything closed due to the rapid spread of the new virus, we're all stuck at home, feeling bored with no outdoor activities. To pass the time, I turned to my window, where I used my camera to capture moments during the pandemic.

Too big to bin

In the heart of the city, where concrete jungles dominate the landscape, an all-too-familiar sight unfolds daily a forsaken mattress abandoned on the street. Each mattress carries its unique tale, a silent testimony to the transient nature of human existence.
