Night Reveals

Today, most of the people, due to living under the dome of light pollution in big cities, are disconnected from the night sky and many may not even experience watching the starry night for the rest of their lives. Forgetting the night sky is a great tragedy because the sky's the one that remembers all evolutions of our earth and for a long time, all its signs have played important roles in the lives of all nations.

The sky's the one that still takes its lovers out of the city to explore this amazing nature, see exactly what their predecessors saw, or with a few hours’ delay, to see almost the same objects as different tribes anywhere on the planet, watching it. Based on this, since many years ago, I decided to travel to unique places in Iran and the world and photograph from beautiful landscapes under the night sky, to share this experience with the people of the cites so that these images be a bridge for reconnecting human beings and sky and this is the path that my colleagues and I take in the international project of The World at Night, with the Peacemaking slogan "One people, one sky".

Now here, right in the midst of the noise and all the lights of Tehran, "night reveals". A collection of images that will take you on a journey with me to places with exquisite views and place you under the umbrella of the starry night. Now, instead of a linguistic description, you can stand in front of each scene and see yourself inside it. Now, in this space, it may be easier to understand the meaning of this sentence: "Night hides the world and reveals the universe".
