Nasir al-Mulk Mosque — morning light through the orosi  —  Shiraz

About the series

In Persian houses and mosques the orosi — tall sash windows of coloured glass — turn daylight into colour.

These photographs follow that light as it falls on carpets, stone floors and water in Shiraz, Tehran and Kashan.
