Hi, I am Nazia. I have just finished my masters in Journalism and Mass Communication from NICC, Bangalore with Diploma in Cinematography. I am a photographer, traveller, storyteller and a film maker from Kolkata who is based in Bangalore at the moment.
As a storyteller, traveller; I capture the journey and the culture we are in and has been through. Every photo has a story to tell of that particular time and space; to lock that space in that particular time so it could remain with us to understand it in a deeper sense in future, I capture the moments of my journey.
I have been interested in photography since long now, must be 10 years or more.
In the meantime, I was also figuring out the digital camera and its equipment. I was watching cinema, observing photographers.
During this period I made a short film named ‘Watch It' which was screened at Kolkata Dialogue film festival in 2012, also worked for Parle biscuit TVC, worked for Big boss etc. And then finally after completing my graduation in 2007, I decided to do masters to polish my skills in the field of photography and peruse my dream of being a photographer.
I strongly feel it is important to make a relationship with the subject and the artist. Without that, our work is just images not a piece of art. And to understand that relationship one needs to go deeper into the subject. Get familiar with it, it's present, it's history, it's texture, smell and it's life. No matter it is a portrait or travel or architecture photography, the most important work is to observe and absorb.
What exactly do you want to express with your photographs?
With each photograph the expression is different; so many emotions; so many expressions; anger, love, faith, failure, peace.... and much much more. For me it’s vast, much wide space. One photograph can express various emotions or just one. But to answer your question I can say 'TIME'. Time is what I want to express through my photographs.
Right now I use Canon 6D camera with various prime lenses mainly.

ISOLATION is a visual testimony to places & people that I have encountered as I traversed & muddled through life.
The idea is to understand whether this feeling of ‘ISOLATION’ runs inside the viewer while s/he comes in touch with these pictures! Do these pictures have their own stories or we complete it with meaning when we look at them.
Exhibition is open for viewers, art collectors, art lovers in the city of Bangalore till 28th March at Honeycomb Art Gallery, Kormangla from 11 AM - 7 PM.
Life, Travel, Culture and Cinema.
To be a better photographer with each photograph I capture.
