Report to D’Arcy
Report to D’Arcy is addressed to William Knox D’Arcy, the British investor who obtained the oil concession in Iran in 1901 and financed the search that led to the discovery of oil in Khuzestan in 1908. D’Arcy profited from this venture without ever setting foot in Iran. Oil has shaped the country’s political and economic history ever since, and has in many ways decided its fate. Yet for generations of local people who worked in the industry, it has brought little more than hard labor and deprivation. This series is the result of nine years of photographing on the oil platforms of Khuzestan. Combining portraits and landscapes, it shows the working and living conditions of oil workers as they really are.
