    What your August 2022 looked like

    From Iran to Suriname, here's a snapshot of the world from last month.

    i-D closed out 2020 with My Year in a Photo, a 12-month retrospective that brought in hundreds of incredible submissions from all over the world. We enjoyed it so much that from now on, we’ll be running it as a regular feature. At the end of each month, we’ll open our inbox to photographs from anyone and everyone — just email photography@i-d.co

    Once again we received even more submissions than the month before, making the process of editing this story even harder. For anyone whose images did not make the cut, please do keep sending us your photography, as we’ve been overwhelmed by the quality of the submissions and want to keep sharing as much of it as possible.

    “Hormoz Island with its coastal strip has unique climatic conditions for the production of marine handicrafts. The sea and the culture of maritime industries have long been tied to the life of the island people. And selling them to tourists has created a job for themselves and they make a living that way. Two women are making marine handicrafts with oysters.” @M0bino
