Screaming Photography

Scream by Ashkan Sahihi

Trend Hunter previously featured the unique photography of Ashkan Sahihi from Iran, which captured him kissing strangers.

But in addition to making out with strangers, Sahihi, who was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1963 and moved to New York in 1987, likes to photograph people while they scream.

Sahihi’s Scream photography series features men and women venting off their stress by screaming so loud, they could have popped a vein.

Is it just me or does the old bearded man look like Saddam Hussein?

Check out more of Sahihi’s work in this cluster of 25 quirky photography sets.
