A photographer & Art lover

Introducing my life and passions

Introduction

My name is Ali a 25-year-old photographer born in Iran, I was interested in all sorts of things when I was younger, from becoming a hacker to becoming a doctor in war zones and finally I got accepted in nursing college, but there was always soothing unique for me about art and especially photography so I decided to quit everything and follow my passion and started to study photography in art university.

Early experiences in photography

I first bought this TLR analog camera from old camera shop and started street photography and learned how to develop films and analogue photography from YouTube so I immediately fall in love with the analog process and photography itself.

It was an amazing day when walked whole day in the street trying to capture decisive moment and being excited about the results that I couldn't see till next day that I developed the films

This was the place in my life that everything about photography got so serious and it wasn't my hobby anymore, I discovered so many aspects of art and photography that I wasn't aware of, it became a way to express my feeling and thoughts about this world and a way to understand it better and even trying to change it to better word which I think was purpose of art too.

Since then I have experienced many genres from street to portrait, commercial and fine art photography.

Why I chose steemit?

now that you know a bit about my life I want talk about the reason why am here, I always believed in my life that we should try to repay all the goodness and thing we had in our lives, no matter how little it is and we should always learn something to share it, so I decided to share everything I have learned about photography technique,art and my skill at post processing and photoshop, I know am not the best and I am still learning but I like to share that, you may think there is so many places to share why steemit?
Because I was really amazed when I first found out about it, the idea of decentralized social media that encourages people to make valuable content and gave them reward for it, the giving reward part was pretty tempting, but what amazed me was the idea of people themselves evaluating good work and trying to make useful content, I think this idea can change the word and make it into a better place, think about it, looks like amazing.

Another part of my life

So far I all I talked was a about a photo or photography, but my life isn't only that, I am coffee lover and traveler so I combined these two together and bought an old vw bus with my girl friend and made it to a cafe and a camper to both travel all over the country and be barsita sometimes so I might cover some post about travel and coffee.
