Photographers like sociologists are concerned with social problems like poverty. Most foreign photographers have made great efforts to portray Iranian society. In these photos you can see people's lives and their surroundings. Poverty is a social phenomenon examine in the historical context of society. Poverty is mainly related to economic, political and social conditions and directly related to the distribution of power and wealth in society. What is discussed in this article is how to represent poverty in Lockhart's depictions of Iran. The research question is, what is seen in the images is poverty? It is examined according to Bourdieu's sociology. In Bourdieu's sociology poverty has a social space with certain mechanisms. Poverty in Iran was caused by two mechanisms: the rulers' disregard for the social and economic status of the people And the institutionalization of poverty in people that did not move them to get out of their situation. What Lockhart depicted in his photos, It illustrates the poverty that, despite the beginning of Iran's modernization in the Pahlavi era, continued to plague the people. The "Bolivarian Civilization", was confined to large cities and certain centers, And the farther away from the center, Society and real life in Iran were more self-evident. The contrast seen in Lockhart’s images illustrates this situation, appropriately, While we have the world's largest oil refinery in a city like Abadan At the same time, in cities like Khorramshahr or Mashhad, people struggle with misery that results from government policies.
