photography at the age of 13. Nader moved to California to go to
college, and stayed to pursue a career as an electrical engineer.
He photographed sporadically until 1992, when a day in a friend's
darkroom re-ignited the passion for image-making. He immediately
began building his own darkroom.
Nader thinks of himself as a street photographer, though he's as
likely to photograph the buildings or the street itself as he is to
photograph people. In street photographer fashion, he uses his
camera to explore and record people and places. But he also has
a strong interest in abstraction and composition. He speaks of
working reflexively, excitedly, and subconsciously, but his images do
not even hint at randomness; they reveal a practiced eye, an
underlying care, and a very personal point of view.
