A Portrait of Humanity
The “Crime Wave Tehran” project is not only one of the few existing documents on organized crime in Iran but also a brilliant exploration of the intimate lives of the gangsters who live in the city. Pouria Khojastehpay dug deep to show us the more humane side of these criminals.
Curiously enough, Tehran gangsters express their most sensitive side through their tattoos, which are often inspired by lovers and even Persian poetry. The book combines intimate snaps of the criminals with violent photos of their crimes.
