Recently I've been playing with my analogue SLR and taking photographs whenever and wherever I feel the urge!

05.07.2011 Nadirah Zakariya


Nadirah Zakariya is said to be the perfect example of the modern multicultural creative. Her influences are as eclectic as her non-specific geographical upbringing, which whether she intended for it or not, comes through in her thoroughly modern sensibility and approach to her work. Currently showing her first solo exhibition 'Daughters Ago' at Lomography Gallery Store in New York, she is also busily preparing herself for a new project where she'll be taking on the role of cinematographer for an up and coming film and various collaborative photography ventures. I came across Zakariya when reading the Dazed RISE article who interviewed her, exploring her new work, future projects and a love for analogue photography. 

While browsing the RISE page, which I regularly find inspiration from up-coming photographers on, I came across these dreamy, atmospheric images which have an almost entrancing feel to them which I knew I had to blog about.  The thing I like most about Nadirah Zakariya’s work is how personal and emotional t seems. The images convey a sense of feeling and atmosphere which I would love my images to embody one day.
