Growing up in a third world country, as a young Iranian, I’ve seen many of friends leaving the country to live the Western Dream. To be honest, I wished I could do that too, but compulsory military service and other problems didn’t let me to. So I stayed.
I had to find something beautiful in Tehran, in this overgrowing metropolis which everyone was running from. I watched it closely and searched. And at last I did it. I found something to love in it. I found majesty in this polluted mixture of orientality and modernity. At First it was like the old Persian story, a prisoner falling in love with his prison, but now I want the world to Come and See it.
This is the story of my adaption. This is the story of how It Began To Grow On me.

In this Project we covered a great number of locations. Shot within six months of photography, and Twenty-five thousand frames, we are honored to present you a sneak peak of how the majestic city of Tehran ( actually ) looks like today.
