Nadya Kwandibens is an inspired young photographer with a fervor for people, life, travel and art. Nadya’s intuition reveals a side of her subjects hidden in the plays of light that attract her critical eye.

In their own words (transcript)

There’s something in the moment when I’m taking a picture, it’s not the actual process of dialling switches, and knobs, and pushing buttons. It’s more so, having to do with the spirit of the moment. And it’s not just in the one on one sessions as well events can have a spirit, places can have a spirit and I’m just able to pick up on that.

I work a lot with natural light. So I think creativity for me, when you narrow it down, it comes from being able to just see and watch how light and shadow work together.

uccess to me means inspiration, being able to inspire other people. That’s when I know I’ve done my job, but you keep going and you keep doing it. Because it is reciprocal, people inspire me to do the work that I do. This land we live in, this city that we live in, the country, you know what I mean? It’s reciprocal, it’s all reciprocal.
