After fire-jumping on 'Red Wednesday'

Crossing a small river with a Bakhtiari family

Golsanem making the morning yoghurt

Inside the dome of this mausoleum on the Turkmen border, a muqarnas is being reconstructed

Karzem in his crib, in a land with no nappies but plenty of ingenuity

One of only seven men who can carve and repair stone at this high level

Trying out the rope device which measured Shah Abbas' 1000 km walk

Welcome!

When I went Skinny Dipping in Iran, everyone from mullahs to hipster film-makers wanted to help. As a Persian-speaker, I got myself into restricted areas and out of police stations. I met women oppressed by the compulsory dress code, and others who felt liberated by it. I started out looking for the past, but along the way, I also saw the future, when I realised how close Iran is to environmental and social disaster.
