Among Women

von

Among Women, the first book published by Iranian-German photographer Samaneh Khosravi, is both authentic photo reportage and an arresting illustrated book: it is a story of women in Iran, who have a very unique physical awareness of beauty and aesthetics that they also want to experience. In doing so, the young Iranian population set fashion trends that satisfy Islamic dress codes and also highlight their own personalities. Having gained great proximity to the subjects, Khosravi succeeds in obtaining intimate and direct insights into the lives of these young women and the way in which they see themselves.
