As a youngster, Naheed flipped through the pages of National Geographic awed and inspired by the world's varied cultures and landscapes. She was enriched by her experience as a first generation Asian-American growing up in Detroit, Michigan. Her eyes wide and a mind full of ideas she studied photojournalism and set out to show how though we are different, our experiences are interconnected. Naheed worked in the newspaper industry for eight years before she began her studio Naheedence Photographic. Naheed notices the sun drenched brownstones in her Brooklyn neighborhood and how the shadows of trees make fractals on each building in an awesome display of light. From across the room she notices someone reach out their hand to hold another's. She jumps in the middle of a crowd with her camera held above her head to get the shot to tell the story and knows what to say to the shy person who hates having their photo taken. Her work helps the observer understand, examine and think--to not merely look, but to see. Her images have been featured in publications ranging from The Washington Post and USA Today to The Detroit Free Press and Time Out New York. Naheed has a weekly feature on her website: NPOW, Naheed's Photo of the Week. Her work can be viewed at: http://www.naheedence.com Clients Include: The Soupman, Swich Sandwiches, Costco, Target, Google Earth, Alfay Designs, Alyssa Ettinger Designs, Crumbs Bakery, Lonesome Dove Restaurant, Locust Systems, The Little Pie Company and Artist Marilyn Janowitz.
