SET-UP Photography Exhibition

Away from your warm home, under the cold, working at the middle of the night even staying awake all night, forgetting to eat and drink, six days a week throughout eighteen hours per a day, despite all these, working with pleasure, heart and soul...

During the last five years from 2006 to 2011, I have been photographing the sets of series, music videos, ads and films, I became an observer behind the scenes of what is happening beyond the viewfinder. The great thing about being a set photographer is to have the chance to look from the same distance at the set-workers with separate tasks. The sets require a collective discipline of study, from the director to the driver and to display, the natural status and the work of each worker on the set is a very pleasant job. If the set photographer can transfer all of these through the photographs, this photographer fulfills the task successfully.
