Sima Choubdarzadeh

Photographer

My name is Sima Choubdarzadeh. I am 36 years old and from Iran. When I was a little girl my father bought me photography books. I remember that I looked at them most time and they remained in the back of my mind. Because I did not take photos at that time seriously and I did not want to be a photographer I was a girl who thought always and because of that I studied philosophy at university for an MA degree. Though I love philosophy, I have to relate it to my life and make it practical and concrete. It is really difficult for me to find a way: I concluded that art is the solution of my dilemma. I try some art class like music, dancing and woodcarving but all of them did not cure my mind engagement. Finally I discovered my childhood remains of mind and soul. I have been doing photography for 3 years. Now I am really pleased. I can make balance between my rationality and emotion. They dance with each other.
