Haji Firooz

Hajji Firuz is a fictional character in Iranian folklore who appears in the
streets by the beginning of Nowruz (Persian New Year). His face is
covered in soot, and he is clad in bright red clothes and a felt hat. He
dances through the streets while singing and playing a tambourine, and is
the companion of Amu Nowruz ("Uncle Nowruz").

Born and raised in Tehran, graduate from dentistry and work as a dentist, interested in digital photography from 2004.
Studied at "Tehran Fine Art University" Faculty of photography as a freelance student for 1 year and work as freelance photographer with interest in Fine Art.

My conceptual work is a confluence of people, elements and landscape. After photographing these subjects, sometimes combine several natural images into one single image.
