Nedim Nazerali has been shooting portraits for over 15 years, redefining the art form through a unique and collaborative lens. His professional approach is to co-create an interpersonal space with his subjects, enabling him to contribute to a collaborative vision but remote enough to observe and capture his subjects in their most authentic and intimate moments.
His work has been seen in numerous spaces and venues including the Royal Academy of Arts, with a distinctive style capturing a visual narrative into the unique ways in which his subjects occupy their own bodies, express their self-beliefs and inhabit their private spaces.
Featured in prominent publications including the front cover of The Luxury Times, ID Magazine, FHM, and Elle, to name a few, Nedim's portfolio reflects a diverse range of collaborations. He has captured the essence of prestigious brands, including Samsung, Cartier, Bates Hats , Casablanca and Ozwald Boateng.
In the music scene, he has produced numerous record cover art and promotional portraits for notable figures including Inglorious, Rita Ora, Paloma Faith, and Grammy Award-winning group, The Swingles. As a director, he has extended his artistic vision to moving editorials, music videos, and narrative-driven films - enhancing the immersive experience of live shows.
In 2015, Nedim embarked on an exciting creative journey, where he started to combine paint with his photography work. He used these mediums to produce numerous album artworks as well as introducing body paint to music videos, which worked exceptionally in creating meaningful and visually impactful messages for his audience. Under the name 'NART', Ned continues to produce personal NARTworks, which he showcases globally through innovative LED light technology. Whilst focusing on profound themes such as empowerment, love and the limitless possibilities of the human spirit, Ned explores the essence of our existence and the interconnectedness of life, offering his audience an interactive and transformative experience.
Beyond his artistic pursuits, Nedim has consistently devoted his career to supporting our future generations. Collaborating with charities in the arts and culture sector, he passionately works as a creative director, teacher and mentor for talents in photography and filmmaking. In 2022, he took his commitment a step further by founding House of NART CIC, an Arts and Wellbeing Community Interest Company. This initiative is dedicated to empowering young creatives, and fostering meaningful art that sparks immersive and interactive experiences within communities.
