Armand Belakov says:

"Extraordinary photography. Especially the black and white images are superb and definitely worth taking a look!"

lyadarus says:

"Ali's Black and White nature shots are just mind blowing. As a black and white, and abstract enthusiast myself, I browse through his photostream whenever I get sometime, and try to learn from the composition and use of patterns in the photographs. I hope I will continue to see great shots from him, and continue to learn through them."

ehsan maraghechi says:

"علي استعداد خاصي در درك طبيعت داره.چيزي كه از ويزور دوربينش ميبينه كمتر كسي ديده.و پرتلاشه.تاحالا نديدم كسي واسه گرفتن يك شات كيلومترها پياده روي كنه و اين تلاش قابل تقديره. يقين دارم روزي عكسهاش در تاريخ عكاسي ايران ثبت ميشه ."

Tyler Huston says:

"Words do not help describe the images in Ali Shokri's portfolio. Each is a masterpiece in its own right, holding a perfect balance between subject and composition."

sid_63 says:

"I only came across Ali's site a few days ago but in that time I have thoroughly enjoyed his photography. His pictures are of a very high standard, well executed and a source of inspiration. I feel that, for me at least, he has lifted a curtain on Iran and broadened my knowledge about what must be a very beautiful country. Thank you Ali."

Arual (Laura Cammarata) says:

"i don't know alishokri, but i have been watching his photostream and it charmed me...
his nature shots show a great sensibility and the fact that he's so capable to catch that moment with the perfect light...
so, he can mix imagination and technique..
great photographer!"

"Wonderful phototographer. I have learned a lot by studying his photos. There is always something here to remind us of the universality of the concepts of beauty and art and it's power to transcend geography and politics."

"You are truly a master of the craft. Your images are stunning! I would love to photograph along side you someday. The locations are stunningly captured and translated to the medium."

"This man does incredible things with shadows and black and white photographs. Every photograph is a masterpiece."

Ronan_C says:

"It's very hard to choose a favourite image when every one is as powerful and well executed as these are. Two that really grabbed me were 33, with those incredibly well balanced lines and 44, with the amazing flow from dark foreground to the white distance. My clumsy words don't do them justice - go and enjoy them for yourselves.... :o)"
