Guest Room:
Darius Himes

Guest Room aims to spark collaboration. Darius Himes, head of the Photographs department at Christie’s, has decided to collaborate with Hasselblad Master, Lecturer and Photographer Ali Rajabi.

Together, they have developed the following framework for your submissions: “The Oneness of Humanity”.

The principle of the oneness of humanity, which can be celebrated through the diversity of culture, expression, thought and opinion, is central to creating fellowship, peace and unity.
