About Shiva Seraj

Born on 9/2/1997

_

Diploma in mathematics and physics, in 2016, I entered South Tehran University in the field of computer (software), but it was not what I thought and I was not interested in it, but I resisted for 5 semesters and tried to finish this field and continue photography at the same time.
I got acquainted with theater photography when I went to a theater in Tehran to see a show, and I was thinking the whole time that the scenes that are going to pass, these should be recorded and permanented.
I photographed the entire performance with my eyes, and after that my mind was very busy about that what would really happen if these scenes were photographed.

After a little inquiry, I found out that we have a genre called theater photography
That’s why I took a leap in the dark and went to photography courses in October 2017 and did my first theater photography in February 2018.
It was there that I realized that my right path was theater photography and I decided to withdraw from my university and started studying photography at the University of Applied Sciences in the same year.
In 2019, I graduated from University with a bachelor’s degree in advertising photography.
All these years, i have tried to strive for better and brighter days of theater photography, so that all those interested in this field can enter and work in it with all their love and energy.
