Featured Street Photographer of the Week: Naveed Dadan

Ashley Hunsberger

vacancy

Selected as a Street Shooter in Issue 10 and as featured photographer of Issue 11, Naveed Dadan is an interesting fellow who is both a zoologist and an avid street photographer. As a scientist, he is trained to observe the world around him – a skill that has served his passion for street photography well. Naveed shoots in a country rich in color, but he chooses to photograph his subjects in black-and-white, revealing the essence of character without the distractions of color.

If you haven’t visited his website yet, be sure you do. Naveed has a beautiful collection of both street and urban photos. I especially enjoyed his “Photo Stories” section, in which he has some superb photo projects on display. In “Queen of the Hills”, Naveed takes you to Darjeeling and Chowrasta Square as he explores the effects tourism is having on local life in this beautiful high altitude city. In “Little Monks of Namchi”, Naveed shares some shots from the daily lives of young monks living in a Buddhist monastery in India. We’re looking forward to his upcoming story too, “The Lost World”.

Here are a few more shots by Naveed:

Naveed Dadan

Naveed Dadan is a Street Photographer from Mumbai (India) currently based in Ahmedabad in Gujarat (India). A post graduate in Zoology, he has also completed an Advanced Photography course from the National Institute of Photography, Mumbai. Besides being interested in Street Photography, as a keen Zoologist and Environmentalist he is also passionate about wildlife photography. His interest in street photography started in 2011 while working on the Science Express, a science exhibition train which travelled across India. That journey exposed him to the whole new world of imagination and visualization as well as different traditions and culture inspiring him to capture human emotions and behaviour with his camera.
