TEHRAN – The Iran Photo Museum, which is also known as Axkhaneh Shahr, will highlight sixty years of photography by Kamran Adl in an exhibition that opens today.
A collection of 12 photos in black and white dating back to 1943-2013 will be shown at the exhibit, Adl told the Persian service of ISNA on Wednesday.
One of the photos was taken in Paris and the rest were taken in Iran, he said.
“These works are among the first photos taken by hand held cameras. Before that, most photos were taken by cameras set on tripods or stands.
“As of this January, I have been taking photos for 60 years. I began photography when I was 12 and left for Paris to study photography. I returned home in 1968 and began to work in the country,” he said.
“60 years ago when my eyes first became familiar with the lens of a camera, I made a pact with the art of photography, which still stands today,” writes Adl in a note for his exhibit.
The exhibition will run until February 1 at the Axkhaneh Shahr, which is located on Bahar Shiraz St. near Haft-e Tir Square.
