Photography

I frequently seek outlets for creativity (outside of research), a constant of which has been photography. Below is a small selection of my portfolio in a mix of black/white and color. If you are interested in printing any of my photographs, please feel free to email me.

Barbari bread shop or ‘Noonvayi’ in Tehran, Iran [2016]. As U.S. sanctions on Iran enter their second year, inflation is rampant and the government is struggling to mitigate skyrocketing food prices. Even with subsidies for basic staples like wheat, bread like the kind sold here continues to become increasingly unaffordable for the poorest households.
