Still eager to learn in life...

Hi there! My name is Mehrdad and I've been an energetic person since I was a child. I was born in 1990 and received my diploma in computer software and hardware in high school. However, during that same period, I discovered photography through my sister's perspective and became interested in it. I decided to pursue photography and started studying it, familiarizing myself with the basics and concepts of capturing life's moments.

During my studies, I worked as a behind-the-scenes photographer and lighting assistant, demonstrating my capabilities to my colleagues and friends at every step. Eventually, I became a professional cameraman and lighting assistant in television and cinema, filming advertisements and official events on the side while engaging in photography in my spare time.

My work required me to travel a lot, which allowed me to see, touch, and feel other people's lives, cultures, and customs. This experience was one of the most important and influential aspects of my life, making me improve as an individual.

I was also interested in learning and developing myself in different fields in the filmmaking profession, so I started practising flying drones gradually until I became a professional unmanned drone pilot. Subsequently, I received a job offer from Fresnel company, located in Malaysia, which I accepted because I wanted to improve my skills and gain additional experience.

I actively researched the latest developments in 360 photography in order to offer the highest quality of work for my ex-company's clients. Since 2017, I've been a creative digital content creator specializing in 360 virtual tours. I've published more than 500 virtual tours of various businesses from different industries including real estate, retail, restaurants, hotels, convention centres, schools, and more.
