new attempt..




trying out color ...





some of his illustartions

who inspired me to take the next step..





Aubrey Beardsley was a designer of genius and a draftsman of a high order of talent. His illustrations are distinguished by a rhythmic, curving line that has many of the characteristics of engraving, and his whole conception of the art of illustration was profoundly personal and original. His style, overblown in manner and "decadent" in subject matter, was dominant in England and the United States during part of the "great age of illustration." Through Sergei Diaghilev it had a strong effect on the Russian ballet. Beardsley's influence on Art Nouveau was profound, and the painters Wassily Kandinsky and Pablo Picasso were early admirers of his work.

involving men into the subject!!!

as i told you guys before i tried involiving men into my project but it my opinion the piece works well by it self and if i take this step it will open a complete window into a different argument. .
but still we have a bit time ..so feel free to give me feedback :)

chaning the model


elements that i used

Apple (symbol of good and evil)
Persian patterns (symbol of garden of Eden)
Hair (symbol of nudity)
White cloth ( result of making a choice)

the reason why?

For me, there will always be a question of “why?” and answering it means identifying the factors that shaped me. I can never escape facing these facts if I am to live and explore creatively as a human being. Our lives are the sum result of all the choices that we make. The initial choice made by a human being was by Adam and Eve, when they picked the Apple. In my mind, all the choices that people make go under the same process of the story Adam and Eve. Metaphorically, There will always be the Garden of Eden, good and evil, fatal fruit and Satan.

Going the right path? ! !

as i told you guys last time, i've been trying to do something like a narrative for my images. i got to the point of having 4 images in total to tell my story. after the first critique i decided to have no face in my images so it will be mysterious and also to connect with the viewer at the same time. i personally think its getting a bit better.. but still got a long way to go... for the next week im going to try to do a male version of the same narrative , and also research more on the actual topic of adam and eve in different religions and different cultures... ill keep you guys updatd ..
PLEASE give me comments SO ill make my work stronger ...
thx:)

making a Narrative !!!

after my last critique. I decided to do a narrative for the images. but its been the hardest thing to do...
i realy dont know if i should use more elements in my photos or not .. if i stick to the elements that i already have in the photos, making a narrative will be tough.. so for the time being im experimenting with compositions and elements based the actual story. ..

The Reason Why






during my whole life i was always looking for reasons. now you might ask reasons for what?
I am very attached to my country and I'm very proud of it,  but i always 
wondered why do we have to live a certain way. Then I reached the point that everything goes back to God.  and i cant question this fact. one morning when i was driving to university a song came up in my ipod. it was called the expelled ones...
the lyrics of the song was talking about the simple reason why we are here in this world is an APPLE . the apple of adam and eve. and it all got clear for me. all my questions were answered. its all because they picked the apple. and we got expelled from the heavens and got deported to the earth. 
then after having a discussion with Mike Bray, i realised that the apple is not the symbol of existence its the symbol of good and evil. 
therefore i concentrated my project on making choices that leads to good or evil results. and because this journey is very personal and important to me, I would like to make it personal and close to me. the work is photography with a mixture of Persian patterns.
