Nadav Kander

Nadav Kander is based in London world renowned for his portraiture and landscapes, he's also an artist and director. His work is part of the collection at the National Portrait Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum in London also his work is exhibited in many international galleries and museums.
He began taking photographs at 13 and then when he was drafted into the South African Air Force, he worked in the darkroom printing aerial photographs. Nadav Kander’s work appears in magazines like Rolling stones, Sunday Time Magazine. After collecting some of Nadav's work i chose a picture that was similar to one of his. The position of the subject is a clear pattern in Nadva's work all subjects are captured in the moment or appearing to be caught for e.g in the middle of a thought. I think i used Kander's technique well because the picture is similar to his.


I like this video becuase Nadav explains his work method experiencing what he photographs is necessary, he speaks about his trips to china and the journey he went on to achieve the best photography.
He chose to go to China and let the experiences tell him what he needed to capture.



I like this video because Kander explains how he works, technique and lighting.
Kander explains that he doesnt like to speak to his subjects because photographing someone you know is hard, he says the tension when you first meet someone makes it easier to photograph well.
