I would like to thank all those who visit my page and leave their comments.

It is one of my dreams to be a successful photographer. Certainly these comments shall make my dream comes true.

 

 

  

Was born June 13, 1964 in Baghdad, Iraq

 

In describing his evolution as a photographer, Hayder explains:

"Most of my family members were obsessed with Photography, On that very Saturday when my Mom was giving birth to me, my Father Mohsin Naqqash brought a photographer to the hospital in order to record his first son birth. So many great photographs in many photo-albums records my family events and daily life"

 

Hayder continues, "At the age of 12, I got my first SLR camera; lens and telephotos were coming one after another to form a non-stop demanding gear.

At the age of 17, I had my first dark room equipment and started developing and printing B/W photographs"

 

"It is a beautiful education, being always behind the lens shooting everything that moves and everything that doesn't move. Everyday experiments involving lighting, filters and different aperture speeds are really how the best life should give"

 

"Eventually, I began to be picky trying to match my subject matter more from the heart and less from the head"

 

"Ideas for my photographs always come from many sources, but always originate as a reflection of my spiritual outlook and concern for life, human beings, nature and all these together"

 

"My ambition is always to involve the viewer into the time, location and mood of the subject to bring the thought provoking beauty and joy of the unity and oneness of all that we see and feel"

 

"I know that no one is able to embrace all the joy and pain in one photograph, but I also know that all humans experience so far is written with 24 letter alphabet"

 

"It is a shared experience between me and the viewers"
