ABOUT NADIA
As an only child whose parents have both died, the photos I have of my family and my childhood are some of my most valued possessions. My father worked in TV, developed an avid interest in photography and had an eye for capturing the beautiful, messy moments in our everyday lives. The photos and film he left behind are an enduring legacy of our family and the life that we shared.
I was born and raised in Paris and now live in Berowra with my Australian husband and our three children—on-call models who have helped me hone my own “moment capturing eye”. I’ve worked in film and fine art photography since 2013. I’ve exhibited my photos in renowned Australian galleries, travelled Europe for special shoots, had my photos featured in print and online and have won awards—both international and local—for my work.
But I’m more interested in the mess and chaos of life than the prestige and accolades. I’m more interested in making art from the ordinariness of life. And creating a legacy for my clients and their families, like the one my father has left for me.
“Every time,I’m amazed at how
beautifully she captures the magic in the mundane."
