Japan is a kaleidoscope of ancient traditions dancing with modernity. Returning to the images I shot while there, there is a fine balance between the long-lasting history and the rapid embrace of the new.

It is the interplay between the two which ultimately becomes so enrapturing.

The feeling in The Jordaan is that of a town within a city, both familiar and overwhelming. Tucked just to the west of central Amsterdam, the quarter has the hubbub of a big city but the serenity of a village.

Interview

Born in Iran, I grew up interested in the fascinating world that surrounded me. The colours, the smells, the culture, the intensity. I was moved at a young age to capture what I saw through my lens.

People. People really inspired me to start shooting. I had a fascination with faces, expressions and different types of beauty. I started off with an old school camera, taking fun pictures at parties and social events.

Whatever the political view might be we bond over numerous different things. We all get a child-like optimistic view of the world once we focus on the general things we love. We all love our pets, we bond over food, we all need collaborations and support.
