"Until the end of year 1980, I tried to photograph the society after revolution and things that were happening on the streets. I resisted till mid-1981, but gradually the limitations and intimidations for taking photos on streets and in public gatherings reached to a point that I couldn’t continue my work anymore and I was forced to shift to photography in indoors and safer places. I was forced to move to closed spaces, and from 1981 I started the ‘Portraits’ project, although for 9 years (until the ban was lifted from the exhibitions) I was not allowed to exhibit the ‘Portraits’."
