I was born in Amsterdam, Holland on February
2, 1984. My parents had come from Persia in 1981, shortly
after the Shah (the king) was chased away and the new regime
took over the beautiful, wealthy and free Persia and turned
it into "The Islamic Republic Of Iran". This is
the same regime that still has power over Iran today. My father
was a business man who traveled through Europe at the time
and as he and my mom met (when she was traveling through Europe
as well) and got married, Europe was where they stayed to
build up their lives together. I grew up in Amsterdam and
had lived there all my life.
I am bi-lingual, I speak both the language
of Iran, which is Farsi and the language of Holland, which
is Dutch. I learned to speak English at school. I was raised
with both the European open minded culture and the Persian
culture of courtesy and manners, class, hospitality towards
others and great respect towards the elder and the wiser.
This is what shines through my pictures as well..
During high school I was active in local
modeling, after high school was when I began to get into fitness.
I finished high school on HAVO level. In Holland we have a
different schooling system, we have high school in levels
of difficulty. VBO being the lowest, followed by MAVO for
medium, HAVO for the higher level and VWO preparing you to
go straight to university. After graduating high school in
2002, I went straight to college and studies psychology for
one year. I was very interested in psychology to learn more
about myself, about how the human mind works and how to be
able to positively influence this to help other people in
their lives. But after studying psychology for a year I realized
that even though I was highly interested in psychology, I
didn't want to make it my full time career. And besides that,
I couldn't keep my focus on studying at that time.
I had a very strong feeling of wanting
to travel around and explore the world, putting more focus
on my modeling career and getting more into my fitness lifestyle.
I wanted to follow my heart, live life by the day and let
the wind carry me to where ever I needed to go. And so I did..
I realized that I had to do this to find peace with myself
and carry on with my studies later on. So I took a pause from
the student life to put more time into my modeling career,
I took a dive into the world of fitness and glamour and was
curious to see what would come out of all of this. And what
better place to do this than in America? This is when you
met me.. This is when I started working with photographers
in America, doing professional modeling and started getting
exposed in the media.
In early summer of 2004 I took my first
three month trip to America. I was going to stay for three
months. I traveled from Los Angeles to San Francisco, San
Diego, Phoenix, San Jose, Miami Beach, South Beach and Fort
Lauderdale, all to work with the best photographers in town
and to have fun visiting these nice places. I had a wonderful
experience traveling around and exploring each new city I
visited and had a great time working with the photographers
who all had a special eye in photography in their own unique
way. I love to have great artists as professional photographers
capture images of me to see in the results how they all define
beauty in a different way.
During my three month trip I had worked
with several photographers and things are really looking up
for me. I am rather new in the modeling world and I didn't
work with just anyone, so i'm not published "everywhere".
In the short time that I have been modeling I have already
accomplished working with several great celebrity photographers
and companies and there are prosperous things happening in
the near future that you will be hearing about. This is only
the beginning.
