About Pooyan

Pooyan

I was born in Tehran-Iran in a warm and lovely family.
My father is a Chemist and following his recommendation I started my B.S. study in Chemistry. after that I continued my M.S. in Pharmacy based Chemistry.
Finishing the university I fell in LOVE with my lovely wife ( she is not only my wife, she is my best partner) and I got married in 2003.
we have very lovely moments together, but still no children.
I started photography just as a hobby since 1998 with my old friend, Canon F-1 and after that with my Nikon F80. I was relearning DSLR after having used my SLR cameras and started to find new experiences in the world of Digital Photography. At the beginning, I had my lovely NIKON DSLR D70 and D70s,later on continued with D80 and now I'm using NIKON D300.
To process the Photos, I usually use Phase One Capture One Pro and also Adobe Photoshop, which I think they are really good tools to make your own effects on the shots.
I'm very keen on any comments. They help improving my photography and it makes me happy whenever I receive a new comment on my shots.
I believe that anything and everything can be transformed into a great photograph. Photography teaches you how to see the world differently. Photography has been a passion of mine for years and I hope to continue taking pictures which people enjoy viewing for many years to come.
Enjoy your visit to my gallery and don't forget to give your opinion on each photo.


Thanks.
