In 04 Dec 1998 - 05 Jun 1999, he was an “Editor-in-Chief,” Mehran (daily paper in Tehran)”. Typical editor-in-chief position and responsibilities. He was the responsible manager for this daily paper. He has the duty of overseeing the entire functioning of the paper. 26 journalists were working within the Mehran paper group. At the time he was 26 years old and felt that his work was a struggle against censorship in Iran, so the whole job became as a huge challenge against censorship, which was in top of all media in Iran. As a result they were just able to publish 46 issues of the paper before they were shut down and banned by the authorities. In a same period of time he was the editor-in-chief of the daily paper named Bahar until it was also banned by the authorities for the same rason.
I have been working as a freelancer photojournalist for Agencies such as: France-Presse (AFP) , Reuters News Agancy (Thomson Reuters) and Croatian News Agency (HINA) since 2003.
My favorites are nature and culture and people, war, politics and human rights.
I also do modeling and fashion photography sometimes for producing clothes and shoes companies!
I hope I can return to my homland country Iran!

From May 1991 until October 1995 he worked as a director of documentary films for the first broadcaster of national television in Iran. His team was usually made up of about 10 cameramen, assistants, sound engineers, etc.
