We were opposites in lots of ways. I would play very precisely, and Joe would play very loosely. He sang somewhat gruffly, and I sang sweetly. And then I came from the council flats and he came from a relatively well-off background, a lowly diplomat’s son. So we were opposites in many ways — and so I think that was what made it so interesting and fruitful. It was one of those great songwriting partnerships.

Over the past twenty years, as he has traveled throughout Iran, Mohsen Rastani has been taking family portraits. From sparsely populated villages to small, crowded cities, wherever he goes, he takes a white backdrop with him. Sometimes when he stays in one place for a while, he opens a temporary studio to shoot his portraits. And sometimes he makes the street into his studio. When he sees people he wants to photograph, he tells them he doesn’t wish to bother them but asks them to call him. In this way, his subjects come to him, and when they stand between his camera and the backdrop he allows them to present themselves however they like.
To Rastani, the white backdrop is almost as important to these photographs as the people that appear against it. The backdrop, he says, “isolates people better in our minds, so they become eternal … like myths, carved images on the stone walls of Persepolis.”
