Born in 1979 (Tabriz-Iran). His interest in art – particularly photography – started after earning a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering department from Arak University. He is a self-taught photographer. He continued as an amateur photographer until he held his first nature photo exhibition named “Under Zero”. This exhibition was set up with the aid of Eastern Azarbaijani State’s arts field. After this event, he kept on learning and working on photography seriously and professionally. Nowadays he is a professional artist, industrial and advertising photographer and teacher. Since that time, he has held 8 solo photo exhibitions in Tehran, Tabriz , Istanbul and Bursa. His two latest exhibitions were “ Gonbad-e-Kaboud ” in Tabriz and “ Gelgiran ” in Bursa. He extends his photography skills in different genres. His photos have been published in national and international magazines. He also holds photography classes in “The Youth Cinema Association”, exhibits workshops in Iran’s art universities and Turkey’s associations. He has published a book of his artwork named “I Will Greeting to Sunlight Again”.
The Blue mosque of Tabriz was built upon the order of Jahan Shah the ruler of Kara Koyunlu dynasty which made Tabriz the capital of his Kingdom. His Kingdom covered major parts of modern Iran, Azerbaijan, and Turkey.
When it was constructed in 1465, the Blue Mosque was among the most glorious buildings of its era, a masterpiece of Iranian decorative tile work. It survived one of the history's worst-ever earthquakes in 1727. However, it collapsed in a later quake in 1773, and therefore, today only a few pillars, parts of the outer wall and the main gate, and sections of the vaulted ceiling and a dome remain.
The Blue Mosque was a member of a larger architectural complex called the Mozafriya Collection. This collection consisted of a mosque, a monastery, a courtyard, a library, and other parts, all of which were destroyed, and of all the buildings, just the blue mosque remains.
The plan, unique in Iran, is comprised of a central square chamber covered by a dome and framed on three sides by a continuous arcade of nine domed bays. A domed sanctuary projects from the fourth, the qibla side.
The mosque plan is a variant on the usual Iranian four-iwan courtyard style: the courtyard has been replaced by a large domed chamber with an entrance on each of the four sides. The mihrab is in a smaller room, also domed, once served as a private mosque for the Qareh Koyunlu shahs. On three sides of the main chamber are further vaulted rooms. Steps lead down towards Jahan Shah's tomb chamber but access would require some minor gymnastics. This rather original plan may be a result of local adaptation to cope with the colder, harsher climate of Azerbaijan.
