Requesting....

.....Permission to travel.

This is Arefeh from work, I've blipped her before here.

Today she needed a passport style photograph for her Visa application to enter the United States of America, I can only imagine the lengths an Iranian has to go through to travel almost anywhere in the world.

Having just arrived back from a country that shares a boarder with Iran, we had a chat about how nice that area of the world is, such a shame there is conflicts with countries in the middle east.

You can't be creative when taking this kind of image obviously due to the strict guidelines but I did quite like the image so created this comp for blip. No smile, flat lighting, no props and no retouching!

Thanks
