I am a professional photographer with over 22 years of hands-on experience in cinematic, fashion, portrait, and advertising photography. My career began in the early 2000s and developed through close collaboration with award-winning filmmakers, creative directors, and brands. I spent over 16 years in Iran’s film industry, where I captured raw emotions and visually compelling moments on more than 30 feature films and television projects. Since relocating to the United States, I have expanded my expertise into the real estate market, working professionally as a Zillow Media Photographer in Sacramento. I bring the same cinematic quality and visual storytelling to property photography, helping clients elevate their listings through powerful, polished imagery.
I am passionate about visual communication, highly skilled in editing with Lightroom, Photoshop, and Capture One, and equipped with full professional gear—including DSLR/Mirrorless cameras, wide-angle lenses, lighting kits, and drones. Professional Experience
