“I remember when I was 9 years old; I rented an automatic camera secretly from the store next to my grandfather’s house. I used the money I collected. I just wanted the camera only for a few days. I was going to take photos of the rural boys and girls. It was just a beginning for me, and I was always dreaming of having a camera so as not to return to that store to rent their camera. Since then, I was fond of photography, and it has become a part of my life.

The focus of my work as photographer is on the Kurdistan and Iraqi tragedy, and of the world tragedy.

Also I am Member of Caroun Photo Club (CPC), Canadian Association for Photographic Art (CAPA), International federation of journalists (IFJ. FIP) and Kurdistan journalists syndicate.”
