A Nan Goldin Photo, as seen in Iran




Iranian Law dictates that women must be covered in public--this law extends to censorship of magazines, textbooks etc., that contain pictures of women that are not properly covered. Many of Nan Goldin's photos would find themselves with a healthy dose of black ink on them, if they were to be seen in public.

I have included the original photo and an example of Iranian censorship in popular magazines bought in Tehran.
