Iran, Untitled 2014

Gohar Dashti's 2014 photograph *Iran, Untitled* is a powerful example of contemporary photojournalism. The image portrays a group of people standing in a shallow depression in a desert landscape, their expressions solemn and their hands raised in a gesture of both defiance and unity. Dashti's work often focuses on themes of political and social unrest, and this photograph is no exception. The stark landscape and the somber expressions of the subjects evoke a sense of vulnerability and resilience in the face of hardship. The composition of the image, with the group positioned in the center of the frame, reinforces their collective presence and emphasizes the sense of shared experience.
