Hello Emran,
it was a pleasure reading your comment on my portfolio. I try to travel as much as possible - and the Iran is still on my list of countries to go to. For me photography is a lifetime development process. I try to find my style, change it and improve my abilities. Sometimes I hit the common taste – sometimes not – but I found out, that it is not the common taste what counts – it is your own satisfaction. Try to get as close as possible to the point you are absolutely satisfied with your work. If you stay critical – you will never reach absolute satisfaction with your photos – there is always something that could be done better… But also try to avoid getting addicted or driven – you must make a shot better than the last one – be relaxed – it took some time for me to find this out…
I wish you all the best for your studies and your photographic adventures...and for sure I will let you know before I am on my way to your country…
Warm regards
Alex
