Self Image:Shadi Ghadirian


Shadi Ghadirian



Shadi Ghadirian was born in 1974 in Tehran, Iran. She is a photographer who continues to live and work in Iran. Ghadirian studied photography at Azad University. Ghadirian was inspired to make work reflecting what she saw as the duality and contradiction of life. She uses every day work objects and places them in front of her face to hide her identity.




 In these images she has used an object from day to day life to hide her own Identity, as shown she has used a broom and a glove in the other image. However this does make you think what it really is like to be Shadi Ghadirian, also how she lives knowing she uses this items for                                                                     the images.
I like the images because they are different from a normal photo you would take of someone, giving the effect of hiding your face to hide your identity, making the images a good piece of inspiring work .
