I decided to never return to my birth country as long as the political situation is at it is. Unable to forsee the future and know if its a promise I’ll keep forever.
During my last trip I had a analog film camera with me with a set shutter and aperture. With flash as my friend I took on the darkness of my birth country. Taking photos of scenes and people the way I would like to remember them and the way I adore them.
IRI is short for islamic republic of Iran or an endearing nickname for the female name ‘Iran’.
