Photo portraits of Iranian beauties in the style of the 19th century

The famous Iranian photographer Shadi Gadiryan was inspired by the style of the studio portrait, popular in Iran at the end of the 19th century under the Qajar dynasty (1794-1925).

She called her series of works of 33 portraits "Qajar". The photographer's models are dressed in the fashion of the time — in short skirts over baggy trousers and head scarves. But it was not without some signs of today's time, such as a can of Pepsi, a boombox, a bicycle, etc.
