Based in London, Nadav Kander is is a sought-after and immensely productive portrait-maker, shooting covers of some of the world’s most important individuals for some of the most respected publications. In a career spanning more than 30 years, he has also been pursuing personal work in the landscape tradition.
His restrained and articulate compositions have a clarity and calm that draw the viewer into zen-like states.

Born in Tel Aviv, brought up in South Africa. Nadav began taking photographs at the age of thirteen having bought his first Pentax camera with his Bar Mitzva money.

DANIEL KALUUYA, 2012

His artistic practice is underlined by a strong signature style... 'My pictures seek to expose the shadow and vulnerability that exists in all of us – and it is this vulnerability that I find so beautiful. [...] I grew up with injustice all around me, Apartheid was in everyone's bones. The pictures that I took then and into my early 20s, although unaccomplished, have the same sense of quiet and unease that is a part of my practice today.'
