Moments in Motion

    This photography project explores the emotional expressions of individuals captured through street photography in Tehran, Milan, Brighton, and London. The study reveals how public emotional displays vary across these culturally distinct urban environments by documenting a range of emotions—from joy and contentment to solemnity and indifference. Street photography serves as a lens to examine spontaneous moments, offering insights into how people navigate their inner lives in public spaces shaped by unique social and cultural contexts.
    The project’s comparative analysis highlights striking differences in emotional expression. In Tehran, societal norms often temper public emotions, while Milan reflects individualistic openness. Brighton showcases a relaxed, diverse emotional range, and London’s fast-paced energy reveals a mix of detachment and intensity. These variations, captured through facial expressions, body language, and interactions with the camera, underscore the interplay between personal emotion, cultural norms, and urban life, providing a visual commentary on how environments influence emotional landscapes.
