The Breathtaking Mosques Of Iran

Mohammad Reza Domiri Ganji is a 24-year-old physics student who lives in Babol in Iran’s Mazandaran province. On the side he mucks about with photography. Ganji loves the fish-eye and he loves a panorama, but even more, he loves mosques and Iranian culture at large.

His photography, as you will see, is pretty easy on the eye. The images look like a bewildering kaleidoscope, but not in a bad way at all. It’s a wonderful meet and greet between the very modern and the incredibly old. Some of the panoramic views of mosque ceilings look more Star Wars than ancient history.

Ganji has had no formal photography training, he’s self-taught with a little help from everyone’s newest friend: the internet. I recommend you click to enlarge if you’re on the desktop:
