The mesmerizing beauty of magnificent temples in rare photos by architectural photographer from Iran
Mohammad Domiri, 23-year-old, an architectural photographer from Mazandaran, Iran, who shoots incredibly rare photographs to reveal the exquisite and gorgeous design inside grand wonders throughout the Middle East. It’s forbidden to take photos in many Middle Eastern mosques out of respect for traditional customs or protection of historical relics, so, Domiri’s shoots are really rare, the photographer shoots with professional techniques such as panoramic shots and fisheye lenses to capture the best of architectural details, from colorful stained-glass windows to geometric decorations and beautiful mosaics, all featuring in these mesmerizing photos. “In Iran, we have many historical sites – but some of the greatest are places of worship like mosques. As we have a grand mosque in every big city there are many historical buildings with lots of beautiful mosaics to capture. I like looking for the symmetry, mosaics and artworks in these temples. I like how they let the light come inside and columns are special too as they divide interior space and give some depth.” Mohammad said, “When I am capturing these pictures, I think about how they will be recorded and in future I hope people will be able to see their beauty.”
