ON TRAVEL TO IRAN:

The US Government has a lengthy travel warning for Iran. While not advising you to ignore this warning, I do advise that you balance it with direct accounts of Americans who have recently visited the country. These accounts are generally filled with superlatives-- the country is beautiful, the history is rich, and the people are eager to demonstrate their almost-sacred commitment to hospitality.

Americans are especially loved. This was noted in every travel account that I read, and I can confirm the fact. You will be smiled at, waved at, invited to meals, and asked to deliver personal messages to Jennifer Lopez. American music, movies, and media are thoroughly consumed by the people of Iran. Like all countries, there are many different viewpoints, but the vast majority of people will associate you with a culture they admire and respect.

I was by no means starry eyed. I'm well aware of Iran's modern history and government, though my portraits pointedly contained no mention of either. Some of the government's policies are unfortunately impossible to ignore: Israelis, for example, are not allowed to enter the country. You cannot even enter the country if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport.* I mention this only because it's well publicized and relevant to travel. I'm avoiding all other critiques, because I am foremost a photographer, and these issues are well-trodden by Western media outlets.

The Roof of Tehran

Paul Bercuci: Iran looks beautiful
Nicole Flores : Everyone you meet in Iran are definitely camera ready and photogenic!
Caroline Gutierrez Goddard :
I want to thank you for posting these pictures... You've presented a very different, much more beautiful view of this country and the Iranian people than I've ever seen in the mainstream media.
Chris Donovan : That view is AMAZING! Your photos over the last while have really made me want to go to Iran, despite the political instability haha
Jennifer L. Sanchez: I have really enjoyed all your photos of Iran. They just prove what a beautiful people they are. Such history along with grace and love radiate from your photos.

Seen in Tehran, Iran


Jennilyn Jeziorowski : Based on your pictures, I'm convinced this entire country is just filled with super models.

Eric Pelfrey : Why is everyone in Iran so fashionable and beautiful? I love it. Anddddd that guy is really hot, but he most likely feels very cold because he's wearing basically nothing!

Agata Char Brzeźniak : While reading the comments I have a feeling that people in USA don't read, watch or search for anything, just absorb what is shown on tv. These days world is small, informations flow on the internet, people make friendships across the borders, talk, meet, form their own opinions. If someone wants to learn something - will find the way. Unless you wait until the informations will be brought, served and explained to you. Then you are surprised that people in Iran look like human beings and they don't have 2 heads and rusty hooks instead of hands.
Cheryl Webb : Don't mean to sound stupid, but I didn't know it snowed in Iran. Whenever I've thought of Iran, I've thought of a mostly hot and arid place. I feel quite uneducated at the moment.

He was driving down a crowded sidewalk, screaming: "Ahmadinejad is coming! Get out of my way!" When I stopped him for a photo, he laid out his daily schedule: "I smoke water pipe. Then I go to work. Then I smoke water pipe with apple flavor."



Sue Choppers-Wife: what a cute smile lol
Chandra Marie: Dragulin Now I kind of want to smoke a water pipe with apple flavor.

The clerics of Iran, for better or worse, are synonymous with the government. Their "party line" is the mirror image of their Western counterparts: "The American people are a good people," he says. "We have a problem with the American government."


Jenni Watson: Let him know we Americans have a problem with the American government too.
Yahyavi Afshin : Santa is that you?!😃

An Iranian Air Force lieutenant takes a stroll with his girl in the mountains of North Tehran


Annie Lindstrom: HONY...you are crushing the western stereotypes of this country with your trip. Please take too many pictures so you can just keep this up when you get home. NY is eccentric and wacky, but Iran is so real. Love what you are doing. Thanks.
Bethan Holland: She doesn't need an escort. She's enjoying a romantic stroll with the one she loves, not going with him because he had to.
Su LaChan : Until seeing your pictures, I never realized how beautiful

Tehran is; both the place and its people. Thanks for opening my eyes.
She plans to be an actress.



Melissa Finn Myers: She's stunning! I'd like to see her on film.
D Jill Rosie: She shouldn't have much trouble achieving that goal with such an incredible face. I hope she plans to model, too. Beyond striking.
Mary Laine: Persians have the prettiest eyes!!
Marcio De Bastos Lavrador: Really?? Name? Her facebook? My girlfriend just saw what I'm writing... I'm dead... Bye beautiful persian woman

I tried to communicate my vision through my guide. I'd say we got about 80% of the way there. But between the beauty of the young women and the garden, I doubt anyone is looking too closely at composition


Ryan Fonkert: So based on this and a picture or two you've posted previously, it's looking to me like Iran is the promised land of beautiful models.
Bryan Bridges Thank you for showing a side of Iran we never get to see in the West.
Nina Alexandra: Ok, seriously HONY, are there NO ugly people in Iran? I'd definitely need a makeover before visiting!
So beautiful
Sony Loren: These women are gorgeous as are their ensembles! So, it's possible to be cute and covered, eh? Wish some US girls would learn this lesson.
Kaleton Hart: Iranian women are so beautiful and well dressed!!
Carly Hansen: My goodness, there is no end to the gorgeous, elegant women in Iran!

Seen in Isfahan

Sydney Ryann: Shes so pretty omg and has such a good sense of style
Katie Butler : She looks like Liv Tyler - gorgeous!
Art Monk: i'm converting .
Bhaswati Chattopadhyay: The Iran they don't show you on the news. The real

Iran. Simply breathtaking.
Coloring Inside The Lines

Alex Kinnan: Wow! She must be from The Future!
Victoria Thor : Love it! But kind of ridiculous isn't it, that her her striped scarf is accepted head-covering? I'll really start cheering when women have one strand of thread on their heads. Just set these women free!
CaitIin EIla: Wind @victoria thor, if you think you can judge how free women are by the amount of cloth covering their heads, you have a pretty narrow definition of women's freedom.

As I walked by, he motioned for me to come and share his lunch. And all he had was a single plate of rice.

Holly Heath: humanity at its finest.
Orisel Bejaran: A meal is who you share it with; not what you have to eat
Nelou Rahai: i think that these photos and captions/stories are adding another dimension to people's perceptions of Iran and the middle east... which in itself is priceless.
Rolie Makki: Who said anyone was jealous of our freedom? ... WE are ones who should be jealous of their hospitality, kindness, and generosity..
Aya Hammad: Us Middle Easterners are famous for our hospitality. Glad you're travelling there and showing people how kind we are, instead of the usual terrorist propaganda.

She tried to claim that she wasn't photogenic, then she totally Vogued.


Seth Pollack : Blue-eyed Persians, man.
Daniel Ferguson : I wish I were as UNphotogenic as she!
Jax Rawlings: I love seeing women dressed modestly. With all the nudity going on these days, especially in America, these pictures are a breath of fresh air! Gorgeous!
Lauren Granger-Brown: I've been to Tehran three times this year and these images totally bring it back for me. The people are BEAUTIFUL, both inside and out, they are welcoming, friendly, cultured, intelligent, sophisticated and excellent fun. I am very much a Persiaphile and now spread the 'REAL' story on Iran and Iranians as much as I can. I'm thrilled that HONY is there doing the same, but to a much bigger audience

Beware mainstream media representations that serve the interests of those in power. The US Government / big oil want us to hate Iran and Iranians so that an invasion/attack will seem justified, rather than an enormous mistake. These people are not our enemies, they are cool people who live in a different country. We get the same negative representations here in Australia since we are dictated to by the US.
Evy Yüzgeç Sue Jones:, 90 percent of Iranians are just believers. They don't want to wear burka or be veiled from head to toe. I have many Iranian friends here, and they wear just like us. But when they go back to Iran they have to put a scarf on, 'coz that's their law. Sometimes 10 % may lead a country since they have money, that's what happens in Iran. If the majority leaded Iran, I think Iran wouldn't be different then the western countries. So what you see in the media doesn't represent real Iran.
Roselyne Chedel: I'm always amazed how they manage to be so totally fashionable and stunning while wearing full scarves.
Rachelle Guerin: It's beautiful how she can display her femininity without showing much skin.

These men work at Firehouse 64 in north Tehran. When they found out I was from New York, they excitedly aske😛 "Are you a fireman too?" I've often secretly wished I was a fireman. But never more than at that moment.


Ceddy Mai: your pictures really change my POV about Iran. thank u!
Joyce Dawson Davidson: There's a special place in heaven for you. You're doing a wonderful thing for the world by humanizing the Iranian people.
Julie Holdsworth Burwood: I love the guy peeking out the window!!!
Grant Hayter-Menzies : As the mother of a Vietnam vet and descendant of soldiers on both sides of the Civil War, my grandmother once told me she believed that if people just looked into the faces of their supposed enemies and could really see them as people, there would be fewer wars. She also said that if mothers were in charge there would be no wars at all.
Samantha Fecher: it's amazing to me that all these photos you've been uploading from Tehran all look like they are taken in new york city. really interesting

A young group of teen boys from a local high school in Tehran. One of them asked me if I thought the world would end on December 21st. I told them: "If the world ends on that day, I will give you all a million dollars." This caused a brief flurry of excitement. Very brief.


Judy Chu aww:
the poor guy in the back (far right) behind "I'm too sexy for my shirt" got blocked
Alex Calish: These are all beautiful people. Why must we fight...
Liz Davis Dear HONY -: Thank you, thank you, thank you for going to
Tehran and taking pictures! As some of the comments above mine show, we need a little more understanding in the U.S. of what life is really like in Iran. Ignorance makes it easy to be hateful. (Plus, it's cool to see some of the beautiful architecture!)
Nicole Jackson: Gotta gave one showing his muscles!!! I am loving these photos! I am envious I can't be there!!!

When I first asked for their photograph, they smiled but didn't answer. I assumed that meant "no." "I think they would like to," said my guide, "but they are just being modest. It is a very Iranian way to act. Ask one more time -- they will say yes."

Adrianne Attanasio: Hamilton The Iranian people are a wonderful people. I know so many Iranians who emigrated to America and are wonderful citizens. We Americans need these opportunities that you are giving us to see people from other countries through your discerning eye. THANK YOU!!!!!
Ivan Velinov : Photography This reminds me of the experience of Eastern Europeans when they first come to the US. They get invited to a dinner, the American hostess offers them extra food and they decline, expecting the hostess to insist so they can engage in the traditional ritual, which they are so accustomed to back home: "Please, have another piece." "No thanks, I'm fine." "Oh, please, go on, there is so much left." "No, honestly, I am full." "Oh, come on, you will offend me. Just one more piece." "All right, then, if you insist..." Unfortunately, to Americans "no" means "no" and the food is quickly put away after the first and only "no," leaving the Eastern Europeans surprised and maybe a little hungry.

I'd explained to my guide that I wanted to photograph ordinary people, but I think he was a caught a bit off guard when I stopped one of the first people who passed by. My guide hurriedly explained to the young woman that I wanted to photograph "real people in Iran." She laughed as she answered him in Farsi.
"What did she say?" I asked. "She said it is a bitter reality."


Ken Schroeter :Americans are asking themselves, "What? Surely she's not a typical Iranian..." Actually, most Americans are probably asking, "What state is Tehran in?"
Meara Hamidiani: yay, a bit of positive attention for the people of Iran
Pamela Noordman : Wow Paige!! Educate yourself!!!
Amanda Marie god help us open our hearts... the insensitive and hateful comments that have been made on the few pictures from Iran is very upsetting. I personally love living in the Middle East and HONY is doing an amazing job of showcasing the diversity of a culture many Americans know nothing about besides what they see on the news.
thanks HONY, and please come to Cairo!
Phil McGrath: I visited Iran in 2009 and fell in love with the place. As much as I loved Esfahan, Shiraz and the other places I went, the highlight was the Iranian people themselves. In all my travels I have never met such welcoming, friendly people.

Thanks,Holy of Persia
