Hi! I’m Nafisah, a fashion and portrait photographer based in NYC. My photography explores the intersections of black culture, gender expression with a focus on. femininity, & queer identities.

Growing up in the Bronx I had the opportunity to be surrounded by so much culture & interesting people! My interest in creating worlds stemmed from consumption of my environment; I wanted the world to see what made me unique—my black culture, gender identity, and queerness. My culture and personal experiences drive me to recreate & create immersive worlds for my audience.

I earned my BFA in photography at the Fashion Institute of Technology. In my time at FIT I have gained an invaluable amount of knowledge in my field. Before studying at The Fashion Institute, I earned my AA in psychology. This allows me to connect and understand my clients better. Most recently, my work has been featured in magazines including 17:23, 2Late, Flanell, & Goji. As well as being apart of Monad’s ‘Community Day’ exhibition and FIT’s senior thesis show ‘Thresholds’.
