Days of Resistance
Reviewing the days of the war in photos on the occasion of the Sacred Defense Week
Sasan Moayedi (born July 8, 1959, in Tehran) is a documentary and war photographer from Iran. He is best known for his photos taken during the Iran-Iraq War. Moayedi, along with Ahmad Nateghi, were among the first photographers to capture images of the chemical bombing of Halabja. His photography career began in 1976 in the public relations department of Iranian television. The published works of his photographs from the eight-year Iran-Iraq War immediately direct the viewer's mind towards the imposed war collection, which was published in six volumes between 1982 and 1988. These books were valuable and exquisite works that were collected and published in six volumes in Germany. In 2020, he won the Alfred Fried Peace Prize in Vienna, Austria, as the first Iranian with the "Love's Tale" series.
