Her work maybe eccentric and potentially controversial but it grasps the viewer's attention mainly with its rhythm for elegance. Hashemi's talent shines through in making bold angels and demons unexpectedly elegant. CLICK ON THE IMAGE AND VIEW THE COLLECTION!

DISCOVER MORE @ THE XERXES ALLIANCE Ramin Talaie's haunting pictory of one of
Iran's largest prisons, Qezel-Hesar is absolutely riveting. The
pictures effectively explore Iran's controversial yet seemingly effective prevention program of methadone pills used to defeat addiction. Ramin T. is an Iranian born photo-journalist who resides in NYC. CLICK ON THE IMAGE FOR RAMIN'S GALLERY!
Our featured photographer is the talented Iranian born Marjan Zahed Kindersley whose body of work harbors a mysterious appeal. Marjan's photography is captivating in that it seems to be telling the viewer a story about life or particulary the common objects of our lifetime. Her "Bra Series" seems to follow a journey of a tired bra, or perhaps the woman behind the bra who has left her mark on the most uncommon places. Marjan describes her work as "a question of pleasure ......as simple and as complicated as that!" Click on the image to view MZK's on-line portfolio. Enjoy!
