Stunning Portraits from the Islamic World

Anyone who is lucky enough to have travelled anywhere in the Islamic world will know it is a trove of diversity, colour and remarkable photographic opportunities. As in most travel spots, chief among the photographic opportunities are the people. We think this collection shows a good spread of what can be achieved with portraits when travelling in many places of the Islamic world and might even have you reaching for your passport.

Interesting presentation and I really enjoyed the sights. I once lived in Tehran and have many pictures from there and it’s nice to see some from other similar countries. Thanks for sharing.
