"I just returned from
Iran and did some new photos. As I was visiting and shooting a few of the
Qajar palaces, I couldn't help but wondering about the Qajar harems. Nasseredin
Shah Qaiar had about 100 wives. However, only a few were among the favorites,
such as Anis Al-Doleh; many were overlooked. I wondered how lonely life must
have been for the new brides who were never to be taken seriously. I decided to
do a story about one such girl, wondering the palace in search of her place and
identity, and dreaming about better tomorrow. I named her Parizad Khanom." -
