B
ased in Tehran, Iran, the work of
photographer Amir Saddigh carries
an air of authenticity. Capturing models in
candid moments, Saddigh’s directive eye is
unobtrusive in its observation of the subject.
In “Touch Up”, the subject appears unaware
of Saddigh’s presence while she refreshes her
makeup, providing an organic portrayal. Again,
in “Lit”, the basic gesture of lighting a cigarette
is suddenly insightful. The image, which
captures the subject mid-motion, achieves a
sense of intimacy; while the viewer is familiar
with the action of lighting a cigarette, they are
suddenly voyeur to the particular way in which
the subject lights his cigarette, the personal
mannerism unique to the subject alone.
