Ebrahim Alipoor was born in Kurdistan, Iran. It’s ten years he has been looking for ways in which can connect people. He chose photography as his main art major ten years ago since he believed that in third world countries, such as Iran, influencing people is very powerful, although difficult. Therefore, He has been searching for ways in which he could connect to and influence people in the utmost difficult circumstances and governmental limitations and censorships, and also with low levels of people’s artistic information.
