His photographs capture moments of daily life in Tehran, the country's capital, and the city of Isfahan.

"Our interactions with Iranians across the board have been overwhelmingly positive. People are genuinely curious about the United States," he said.

"People want to know what is America like, what does America think of Iran? They want to offer their impressions, so our interactions have been incredibly positive."

"There are murals all over Tehran," he added. "You see these faces everywhere you go looking down on you - huge, huge faces. Most of them are either the current or the intellectual leaders of the Islamic revolution, or heroes of the 1980s Iran Iraq War."
