It’s really about YOU, not about me. What is special in your life that needs to be captured in time through a photograph? What is the setting, composition and lighting that will bring out the truth of the moment? Photography is much more than just pointing and shooting and that brings it back to “me”.

I became hooked on photography in 1983 when I purchased a 35 mm film SLR camera to use on a visit to the Baha’i World Center in Haifa Israel. Over the years photography has become a passion and has evolved from a hobby to a full time profession. In preparation I have completed a two year course on Professional Photography from the New York Institute of Photography in October 2020.

My wife and my best friend, Nasrin, and I (that’s us in Cinque Terra in 2019) live in Hillsboro, Oregon and we look forward to serving the greater Portland area to provide images in the following categories: portraits, headshots, lifestyle and commercial (small business).

Inspiration

In reality all are members of one human family -- children of one Heavenly Father. Humanity may be likened unto the vari-colored flowers of one garden. There is unity in diversity. Each sets off and enhances the other's beauty.

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá,

“To make enduring photographs, one must learn to see with one’s mind’s eye, for the heart and the mind are the true lens of the camera.”

— Yousuf Karsh
