she is a self taught photographer and started working in Iran at the age of 16 as a photographer. At the age of 21 she started working internationally covering war, natural disasters and social issues.
Her main work focuses on women's issues in Iran.
from her "Mothers of Martyrs series
from her "Listen" series
I found her work interesting and compelling in that she is trying to draw attention to issues she believes in.
As i read through an interview with her i found that she would love to create her images without censoring herself.
I did not find a lot of information on her other than she is a freelance photojournalist and she has had images published in time and news week as well as national geographic mag.
