Eugenie Dolberg is a photographer who developed Open Shutters to teach photography not only as a medium of documentation, but as a way to share ideas and emotional experiences. She lives between London and Tehran. Maysoon Pachachi, who shot the film of Open Shutters and writes an introduction to the book, is an award-winning London-based filmmaker of Iraqi origin.

Photographer Eugenie Dolberg ran the OPEN SHUTTERS IRAQ project in 2006/7, at the height of the murderous sectarian violence in Iraq. Over the course of three months, women from five cities in Iraq learned about photography, told each other their life stories, and produced a remarkable and unique body of photographic and written work. The book includes eight of their photographic essays and a series of evocative single pictures. The intersection of the contemporary history of Iraq and the individual lived experience women there emerges through their tales of war, sanctions, uprisings, siege, kidnapping, grief, love, happiness, times of resistance, achievements and small triumphs.
