Summary: Shadi Ghadirian: A Woman Photographer from Iran introduces the work of contemporary Iranian photographer Shadi Ghadirian, whose images critically explore the intersections of tradition, modernity, and the lives of women in post-revolutionary Iran. Through staged and often symbolic portraits, she juxtaposes elements of Persian cultural heritage with contemporary objects and global influences, highlighting tensions between past and present, restriction and expression. The book presents her photography as both personal and political, offering a nuanced reflection on identity, gender, and the complexities of everyday life under shifting social norms.
