Kaveh Kazemi - Nuns

In the course of his decades-long career, Iranian photojournalist Kaveh Kazemi has covered everything from the Iranian Revolution, Operation Desert Storm, and the Taliban in Afghanistan, to regional conflicts throughout the Persian Gulf and the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Back in the 1970s, he began capturing nuns and their everyday lives. It is a theme that has occupied Kazemi throughout his travels up to the present day. The images collected in this book reflect his longstanding fascination with these devoted women who share a common bond. Pictured are nuns in Paris, Granada, Naples, Rome, Athens, and Yugoslavia, as well as Colombia, India, Lebanon, and Iran.
