In Iran women are not allowed to show their hair. They are supposed to wear a Hijab. If they are caught in public not covering their head, they are treated like criminals, even get arrested. I have a lot of strong and independent female friends, who with their strength to live in a society where they don’t have a free lifestyle, inspire me a lot. Why should women cover their beauty? This is why I decided to to prepare a special shooting - Called „The beauty in my hair“. My dear friend Elham Mehrabani is the Make Up Artist in this Project. I asked different models to tell me how they feel about this situation and chose Dina for the shooting. When I asked her how she feels about the situation she replied: "I don't feel free to do what i am passionated about so it's like a prison. I dont feel safe and there is always alot of stress". But she did the shooting anyway and the results are amazing.
