His first known involvement of him in the art world goes back to 2014 when he was a participant in Yarat Summer School with Magnum Photography. After attending lectures by names such as Thomaz Dworzak, Chien-Chi Chang, and David Montgomery within the scope of the mentioned summer school, Jabi focused mainly on photography and developed himself in this particular medium of art.

Several photo series of Jabi called “On the top”, “White swan”, and “Veterans” were established in leading local portals and on social media pages of international photography hubs. Ehtiram’s first photobook “Polio” was finished in 2017.
