Aref Khodabandeh’s photography seeks to inform and educate. His current project looks at children with thalassemia, an inherited and potentially serious blood disorder. Khodabandeh photographed the children at a hospital in Zahedan, Sistan and Baluchistan province, south-eastern Iran, where they received blood transfusions and other treatment.
The condition can result in sever anemia, and, in some cases, bone deformity.
