Hello Mahafsoun. I ran into your belly dancing video of Gojira and you look familiar. I went to Vancouver in the summer of 2012 and i bought a dress in the Store Millenium. I remember speaking to a fellow girl of middle eastern decent that looked like you. DID you work at Millenium?

Hi! Yes, it was me who worked at Millennium. :) Good eye!

Who has been your greatest influence in photography?

So many models, photographers, movies, music, books... I can't even begin to list them to be honest. I get inspired by specific things but when I do, it opens up my imagination to the point where I can create things that I'm extremely proud of and happy with.
I actually opened up an album on Facebook dedicated to things that inspire me. I will expand the list soon: https://www.facebook.com/Mahafsoun/media_set?set=a.799449616771057.1073741905.100001180797916&type=3

Bellydancing hurts my back, especially my lower back. Do you have any tips on how to avoid that?

Stretch a lot before you dance. I mean, a lot. Even for 20 minutes if you have to. Hopefully it will help. I'm usually impatient and go right ahead and dance. I don't suggest it. :)

Do you see any parallels between Iranian culture and gothic and metal culture that have influenced your personal style?

Good question! I have never seen any traces of the gothic subculture in my culture as an Iranian. I mean, yes, there are gothic individuals who are Iranian (or Middle Eastern in general), but rarely do I see or know of any. Growing up in Iran, I never once heard of metal, goth or anything alternative. It was all new to me when I moved to Canada.

If you don't smoke then I suggest starting with a nicotine free juice with whatever device you go with. If you don't need nicotine already, don't get yourself hooked on it. :) That's what I did.
I recommend the device in this video. You'd be just fine with the older version of the tank I talk about.

Do you come from a rich family?

No, I come from a normal, humble family that has enough. I myself work alongside my art, and still go to school to have a career in the medical field within the next few years. I prefer this life, because at least I get to appreciate everything I have, even the small things. I wasn't raised with much, so whatever I have now is a blessing to me.

what kind of advice would you give other models to get to where you are?

The most basic one would be to only do what you're comfortable with and go from there. It is important to step out of your comfort zone, but not to the point where you are doing what you hate. Only if you're truly and deeply motivated to do so, should you drop your comfort veil and step further.
Learn to say No and to make good decisions from the start of your career or work. It will save you lots of trouble in the future. Basically, be honest with yourself about what you are comfortable with doing and what you want to achieve. I say this to all artists, not just models. :)

Hi Foroogh! I'm a really big fan of yours and I love what you do! I just wanted to ask, around what age did you get interested in Goth subculture and what got you into it?

Thank you so much!
I got into this subculture when I was only 15. At first the fashion and art attracted me towards it. Artists like Victoria Francés truly inspired me and pulled me more towards this subculture.
I don't consider myself a proper Goth, but my style is definitely inspired by it.

do you answer all the questions sent to you?

No, because a lot of them are too personal, or have been answered before (here and in many other places). I encourage people to scroll down and read some of the past answers, as some of the most answered/popular questions have been answered already, more than once probably. :)

To have a behind the scenes to see how you work to have those wonderful foto's and videos would be awesome.. Is that possible for you to do?

Thank you!
I actually have 2 playlists on my YouTube with "Behind The Scenes" videos and more. :)

Hello! I whould like to know what kind of make up do you use? Won't you like to do a make up tutorial?? Greetings from Costa Rica :)

I would love to start doing tutorials, especially ones based on shoots that I have already done. If I do, I will definitely go through the detail of what I use and how I use them (as far as products go).
Greetings to Costa Rica!
