check out: Shadi Ghadirian



"Ghadirian comments upon the daily repetitive routine to which many women find themselves consigned and by which many women are defined" (wikipedia)

i had made a mental note, and a note in my phone apparently, to do more research on this Iranian photographer after i first saw her work about a month ago. i was taken aback by the parallels between her work and mine, but very much admire how the starkness in her work is not tainted with a plaintive sentimentality. It is simple, not overbearing or condescending, and simplicity is its own message and its own means.

she doesn't have her own website it seems, so take it upon yourselves to make a mental note of your own.

  1. This picture is not giving out a good message and should be removed as it is disrespectful and targets a group of people.
