Iranian amazon photographers active in all fields...
Photographers, espespecially the female ones, are not served breakfast on a golden plate in the Islamic Republic Iran where the regime keeps an eye on everything hence sencorship.
But in the contempory Iran a new generation of photographers stood up who want to give the world a new view of the country.
Photographers like Newsha Tavakolian, Solmaz Daryani and Tamineh Monzavi take the viewer on a trip through Iran, which is not only rich in culture and history but also in full development whatever the gringos say. Still, under the censorship it is like walking in a mine field, equally for photo journalists, documementary photograhers as well as for photographic artists.

When I
read about the Qaji it reminds me of the Aboriginals of Australia and their
landscape songlines. And this is excactly what the Iranian amazon photographers
are doing: placing photographs in the Iranian landscape.

NEWSFLASH september 18th. :the government has immidiately forbidden women to enter sports stadions or be part of the public during games.
September 21th.: the clerics decided that women again are allowed to be at a sports stadium. Now even if Rouhani is president only the Supreme leader: Ali Khamenei can 'put his stamp' on this and agrees.
