Hello Kambiz. I understand that in Iran there would be a problem photographing girls because of cultural / religious traditions but if you are living in Europe or the US there are many (perfectly respectable) girls who would like to become models who would be very pleased to model for you in return for photos for their portfolios (called TFP - "time for prints"). You could join groups like "One Model Place" (http://signup.onemodelplace.com/index.cfm) to get in touch with them. Or you could join a photo / camera club that may organise studio sessions with a model - which would be easier to start if you are very shy.
Best wishes,
Jonathan

Thank you Jonathan for your comment.
Oh man, you are PERFECTLY right. I talked to this person, Naser Agha about different subjects in a corner of street for30 minutes or more. He was repairing shoes. I took his image and promised him to bring one printed one for him. Your comment freshened my promise to him.
I am too shy to ask my relatives who have some kind of closed minded ideas. Also I am poor to ask a pretty model like your model in your image pose for me. Therefore I had to continue my detached observations. Perhaps one day a young lady ask me to take her images. Then urika!

Dramatic portrait helped by the lighting and the lines of the background. Nice direct composition. I especially like the feeling of contact with the subject.
For me, the weakness of some of your other portraits is the lack of engagement with the person - they seem like detached observations. With your evident photographic skills and vision you should be bold enough to take portraits of friends and relations where you can express an empathic connection - get them to take part actively in the process.
Best wishes, Jonathan
PS: thank you for your comment. You could "be there" too - just take your wife / girl friend for a picnic somewhere nice and deserted (and warm!).
