Photographer Features the Faces of Wakhan

Recently, a BBC Persian photographer named Ershad Honaryar traveled to Wakhan "in the far east of Afghanistan," which is considered to be "one of the most remote places on earth." Honaryar traveled for five days on foot to reach this isolated place, and when he got there, he embarked on a unique and thought provoking journey. Honaryar had set out to photograph peoples' faces and tell their story. The article includes thirteen photos, all of which are captioned with information on the people in the photos, as well as some details that help contextualize their lives in Wakhan.
