The yellowed albums and the pictures of smiling children dressed up in their best clothes are testament to our hopes and dreams, but they end in blank pages, and the moment when our parents stopped taking our pictures.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;For this project, I have decided to continue the photo albums of my generation. To add the pictures that were never taken of the way that life is for them now, grownup. I followed nine people who in a sense define this generation. They are interchangeable, thus representing many. This photo album is theirs; it is my vision of life in Iran now, unromantic and confined. Those who feature on the pages are interchangeable, placed randomly in the natural installation of what is and can be their daily lives.&#8217;<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_73769&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73769\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Tavakolian_photo1.jpg\" alt=\"Image from the photobook Blank Pages of an Iranian Photo Album by Newsha Tavakolian\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Tavakolian_photo1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Tavakolian_photo1.jpg?resize=135,100 135w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Tavakolian_photo1.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Tavakolian_photo1.jpg?resize=533,400 533w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/Tavakolian_photo1.jpg?resize=562,422 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Image from the photobook Blank Pages of an Iranian Photo Album \u00a9 Newsha Tavakolian<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Judges said of the work:<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Newsha Tavakolian\u2019s photographs provide a fresh and considered account of life in contemporary Iran that challenges many of the existing stereotypes and images reported by mainstream media.&#8217;<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_73768&quot;
