“If the pen is mightier than the sword and a picture is worth a thousand words, then let peace and unity reign through pictures and arts!”

Artist Statement:
I enjoy composing light in a natural setting. My love affair with photography started at the age of nine when my father gave me my first camera; an old Agfa manual folding model. While I have been photographing for many years, it is only recently that I have started to share my photographs through internet and art galleries. I enjoy closeness to nature and wildlife and would like to preserve and protect it to the best of my ability. My training in Aviation has exposed me to unique angles of light and subjects from the air both in natural as well as urban settings.
Combining the activities I enjoy has resulted in the images on this page. Love of outdoors, nature, hiking and travel has produced great opportunities for photography while my training as a pilot and joy of flying has created a unique perspective and great views from the air! Love of nature compels me to capture it as pure as I can and the best my art can achieve is to raise awareness of natural and environmental preservation.
I primarily use Canon digital SLR equipment for photography and consider advancements in digital camera equipment over the last decade a great tool in the hands of photographers and artists.
Biography:
Payam’s Educational background is in Aviation, Engineering and Management. While he has taken collage level classes as well as specialty courses focusing on photography and art, he continues to learn and expand his horizons through self education in photography…the journey continues.
Payam has lived on three different continents prior to his 28th birthday and considers that exposure to different cultures and people as a type of education one can’t get at any university. He believes while importance of education in Math and Sciences are well emphasized in today’s world, it is through the Arts and cultures that people of different background can come together and open doors to peace and understanding. He hopes his photography can bring people closer to nature and each other and serves the purpose of oneness of mankind.
Thank you for viewing this art form that I enjoy.
