Creative thinking

His project focuses on women taking part in adventurous and dangerous sports.

It is inspired by an idea of a friend of his, Leila Esfandyari, who always believed that “Iranian women can do anything a man can do.”

Leila is no longer with us; she died on the Gasherbrum Massif in Pakistan in 2011.
