Story
the photographer
Nisreen Nader (b. 1997 Aden) is a Yemeni street-life photographer. She is a member of “Global shapers community – Aden hub”, holding a French language degree. She found herself in photography, because it is a way she can tell stories from the city she lives in. Her work has been exhibited in numerous group exhibitions in the city of Aden. She had worked on assignments for NRC and USAID and currently working on developing her individual works into long term projects.
The Concept
In war-torn countries the vast majority of professional photographers work for news agencies. This means their work is often focused on coverage of conflict. Our project is motivated by the opportunity to give talented photographers an entirely new outlet for their work. Through this project we hope to reveal a side to war-torn countries rarely seen in the international media.
