Pamir Int’l Salon of Photography awards Iran’s ‘Saffron Land’

The 2nd Pamir International Salon of Photography in Tajikistan has bestowed the FIAP Gold Medal upon ‘Saffron Land’ captured by Iranian photographer Hadi Dehqanpur.

‘Saffron Land’, which took home the FIAP medal from the open color section of the event, portrays a man passing through a farm covered with saffron flowers.

Iranian saffron known as the “red gold” is a magical ingredient in Persian culture, from aromatic foods and colorful desserts, to the physical and spiritual medicine. The expensive spice has long been a high-demand commodity.

Iranian Saffron tour is an opportunity to experience and visit Saffron farms and farmers.

The Federation Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP) and the Photographic Society of America (PSA) organized the event in the six categories of open monochrome, open color, people, landscape, nature and travel.

Ebrahim Bahrami, Vahid Babei and Saeid Arabzadeh were the members of the jury at the exhibition.

A selection of the accepted images and winning photos will be showcased for the public in an exhibit at the Roudaki Photo Club in Dushanbe on April 26.
