From A Love Letter from Iran, a review by author Kamin Mohammadi:
“In describing Iran one is in danger of wearing out that age-old cliché — this is a land of contrasts — and Tori and Kamran’s book does not attempt to explain away the complexity or many contradictions or try to make sense of them. But within the atmospheric range of images and bittersweet essays printed here, they beautifully capture and communicate the immense charm of Iran, its ability to enslave the heart, and the tenacity of its hold over the affections in spite of the frustrations of living there. Most of all, this book is a visual love letter to a country that can befuddle the mind and nourish the soul all at the same time”.

In Impressions magazine: Iran: A View From Here 2003-2006
“With Iran in the news so often, it’s easy to forget that behind the political intrigue there lies a vast country in which people do their best to live normal lives. Iran: A View from Here is unusual in that it presents the ordinary, yet diverse aspects of Iran that visitors rarely see and which escape professional photographers who are too busy snapping mountains, deserts and funky Tehrani girls walking past traditional chador-clad women. Ashtary and Egherman have been living in Iran for three years and this book is the result of those years, in which they worked, visited families, took part in rituals of life and death and walked in the mountains outside Tehran. They bring a unique perspective to a complicated country and accompany their photographs with some moving essays depicting the strong emotions evoked by life in Iran.”
