Creative Photography by Nadav Kander

Nadav Kander was born in 1961 in Israel and was raised in South Africa. In the mid 1980s he moved to London where he currently resides with his family. He became interested in photography as a boy and at 13 bought his first camera. After a motorcycle accident at 15, photography became his focus and he redirected the focus of the South African National Service into an apprenticeship in the military darkroom. From here, he assisted Harry de Zitter and met Nicole Verity who was and still is central to his life and work. Having visited Europe as a young boy he longed to return and so in the mid 80s arrived with no money and only a handful of friends and with Nicole’s support began to forge his career as undoubtedly one of the most original and highly regarded photographers of our time.
