Nadav Kander

Nadav Kander's work is a varied interplay of influences.

His restrained and articulate compositions

have a clarity and calm that draw the viewer into

zen-like states. The London-based photographer's

exceptional talent has been rewarded with major

success, and his work is featured in the Sunday

Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Esquire among

other publications. His unique skill is especially

manifest in his spare and muted landscapes and

his straight portraits. The Yangtze, The Long

River work was awarded the second Prix Pictet.

His Obama's People feature--which he created

for The New York Times Magazine in 2009--

have a haunting complexity few contemporary

photographers could equal.
