15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
The tree

The process of creating my works has been based on the environmental changes I have observed in northern parts of Iran. After taking photos of scenes, I started doing some modifications. The main concept is based on the interaction and influence of human being and nature. The environment loses its integrity the very moment man discovers it. Man’s manipulation sometimes makes the environment visually more attractive but it also might lead to some crisis.
