PREFACE What attracts attention in the photos of Iranian minimalist photographer, Mostafa Nodeh, is that not only are the disturbing elements of his photos beautifully and meaningfully removed, but his photos also possess a kind of simplicity, originating from complexity of beauty His minimalist photographs, in a way, refer to the desire and tendency of modern human to simplicity and the elimination of redundant elements as much as possible: human who seems to be exhausted of the chaos and anarchy of modernity, constantly seeking to take refuge in the shelter of his original and simplistic spirit. This artist is totally aware of how to meticulously choose the right elements and where to suit them within a frame in order to communicate with his audiences directly and touch their hearts. Thanks to his minimalist attitude, Mostafa Nodeh, who is undoubtedly one of the best minimalist photographers in Iran and the world, portrays the exhausted soul of contemporary man in the most beautiful way possible, focusing on simplicity derived from complexity and considering to keep the balance between the form and content of his works. An artist like him, just like many others, really deserves the support of the world community of artists and art lovers.

Learn to see.... hotographic opportunities are plentiful P around us, but it’s our creativity to capture a memorable picture from a day to day. When you walk outside with your camera, look for game spaces that are light-lit, have interesting patterns and geometric lines around them, or even subjects facing a simple background on their own, all considered great subjects for minimalist photography.
nnecessary details can eliminate the appeal U of minimalist images. Anything beyond the main element of the image is an additional element. Suppose something like this happens, what are you doing? So cut the image easily; This is a technique that will help you capture beautiful images.

TRAVELOG A journey with no commencing An Endless journey A pointless journey An irreversible journey to a nightmare to a dream to the Buddha The dew of Taj Mahal I travel with the flames of memories Closer to you while I am away I travel with the flames of memories Closer to you while I am away Lyrics: Shahyar Ghanbari Translated by: Jalileh Massoumi
