“For me as an Iranian artist, the experience of visiting America is an exceptional experience where I can get a better understanding of the latest development in American photography and its culture. Although in today’s world, with the help of internet and satellite we get to know a lot about different countries and their artistic developments; but for an artist traveling and visiting with his own eyes has a great influence on his view and his works.”
