TEHRAN -- A collection of photos by filmmaker Nasser Taqvaii with the theme of clouds has been put on display in an exhibition at the Negah Gallery in Lavasan, a fresh countryside in the northeast part of Tehran Province.
The photos have been selected from Taqvaii’s series “Cloud, Wind, Fog and Fog”, which was shown in an exhibition at Tehran’s Etemad Gallery in February 2009, the Persian service of ISNA reported on Friday.
“I have been taking photos for over 50 years and have a massive archive of photos. As soon as you mention a special theme, I can provide over 100 photos,” the 72-year-old Taqvaii said.
“When I was a school boy, my friends were from among photographers. I began taking photos in those years, but I never thought I would be a photographer. Anyone who wants to be a photographer must have his camera with him at all times, since some scenes will happen only once,” he added.
“When you take a photo, you concentrate on a particular subject, but when the photo is developed, you look at it more deeply. Several new aspects are highlighted on the periphery making the photo more beautiful,” he stated.
Taqvaii said that those individuals who would like to produce better quality work need to renew themselves.
“Anything which is not renewed grows old, and if people don’t renew themselves, they will grow old.”
The exhibition will continue until July 31 at the gallery located at No. 872, on the main boulevard of Lavasan.
