Shabnam Molavi in the Bazaar of Tehran, Iran
Canadian Iranian Photographer Afra Pourdad
Excerpt of an Interview with Afra Pordad:
What do you hope you have changed in your public’s image of Iran? Would you say that, in your own way, you are pushing for change for Iran, and of our perception of Iran??
A change in perception; yes. I wanted to show Iran as it is. That’s why I did the shoot in Bazar. You see a good diversity of people; you see workers, you see women In Chador, and you see women in colorful attires.
I could have done this shoot in the more modern shopping malls at which most of the women you would find will look like Shabnam. Or I could have shoot these photos in a place with every women wearing the Chador, the all black cloth that covers from head to toe.
The truth is that Tehran, like many other urban centers, is a diverse city; this I wanted to show.
