Shapour Ghasemi This is my name and I am a photographer, a passionate photographer. I am a patient photographer too; I wait and wait for some moments, or special lights. A long time ago, I felt an extraordinary and indescribable joy, when for the first time I held a photo camera in my hands. I was in my early teen years when my mother gave me a Kodak Instamatic 155X. From that very first moment my photographic journey began and still continues. Now after 50 years, the same feeling keeps coming back every time I hold a photo camera in my hands and release the shutter.
But always one thing was very clear that I couldn’t convince myself to combine my passion with the terms, pressures, deadlines; and pretending that I’m still enjoying and having fun with this job.
