This series of photographs comes from an archive of ID photos taken in Kia Studio on Bahar Street which was owned and operated by Mr Arbab from 1974 until his death in 2005. The archive was sold off by his family and five years ago, Zanjani discovered them in a resale shop. After scanning and archiving the images, Zanjani discovered that through the hair styles, fashions and makeup of the subjects, the photos revealed the historic events of Iran during their thirty-year span. This series of eleven photographs, reveals the secret desire of soldiers who did not wish to cut their hair. Arbab developed the unique technique to conceal and edit the long hairstyles of military men using a red marker.
