José Jeuland: Hello Ahmad, Can you tell our readers your background? How did you start photography, and when?

Ahmad Khatiri: Thank you José, It's a pleasure having this interview. In 1988 and 1989, when I was 11 and 12 years old, my interest in photography started. Back then, my older brother, Mohammed, was learning photography and photographing, and that inspired me to start photography. At about the same time in 1990 in school, one of my best teachers, Mr. Zabihi, made me more enthusiastic about art, so I decided to go to the school of art. In 1992 when I was studying at the school of art, I enrolled in a one-year course in photography and filmmaking at the Iranian Young Cinema Society.
