About Me

I am a passionate person. Into art and science. I recently left behind more than a decade of physics practice to pursue photography and videography. I have lot's of travelling and hitchhiking experience from the time I was in my home country Iran. I'm looking to connect with interesting people. So hit me up if you have some stories to tell.
