For me ,the experience of living in Tehran began eight years ago when I moved to a university dormitory there. A metropolis with population of fifteen million is becoming larger, more crowded, and more heterogeneous each day, and life in this city has become a challenging issue for many: a challenge for staying and keeping up. The lifestyle in this city has changed in accordance with the time; women have abandoned their traditional status as housewives and, just like men, many of them leave their homes at dawn to get to their workplaces and do not return until nightfall so as to keep up with the unbalanced cycle of life. I believe that the ever-changing and uncertain life conditions lead to psychological pressure in society. This kind of pressure has become a major part of my life too, and I feel that this issue is reflected in the faces of people of this city.
These photos has been produced from accidental encounter of people with photographer. In most of them passangers are aware of camera, so these photos are no longer belong in the category of candid photography.
For me seeing passangers and the reaction of them seeing me is a matter of subject.
*Using flash light among street photographers such as Bruce Gilden , Paul Reas and Philip diCorcia is precedented.
