Afsaneh: A woman's life in passport photos

Categories: Photo project |

Every day, photographers around the world are looking for new ways to tell stories or capture something we haven't noticed before. We choose interesting photo projects and ask their authors about what they wanted to say. In this issue you will find the Afsaneh series by British photographer Ali Mobasser, in which he captured the life path of his beloved aunt in her photographs from documents - from school certificates and driver's licenses to passports and travel tickets.
