Ahmad Naser Eldein is a Palestinian photographer based in Montreal. He regularly contributes to various print publications and online platforms. He has also participated in multiple collaborations and solo exhibits in Palestine and Canada. His work is being recognized and sold internationally.
His research interests tackle representations of queer and political identities. Through his portraits he aims at capturing the human physique that reflects expressions of emotions and states of mind.
Ahmad’s interest in photography goes back to his studying at Bir Zeit University, learning film photography and producing diverse documentary essays. Ahmad always had a special appreciation for analogue techniques and darkroom labs. It is only years later that he transposed his practice into the digital world and delved into conceptual and fine art photography. Working with photographs, Ahmad has worked on diverse series while using different mediums: Digital photography, polaroid, and medium format film.
Ahmed's photography aims at expressing his vision of reality while exploring the thin lines between documentary and imagination. Inspired by his daily life, his work focuses on individual experiences and their entanglements with the collective and the visible and invisible structures that surround them.
With a subtle minimalist approach, his portraits strive to create work that is clear and uncompromising. As he sheds light on marginalized persons, his home and studio photography explores humans while celebrating their uniqueness and multilayered identities. He focusses on questions of political and sexual identities, decolonization, and subcultures.
By photographing the human physique, Ahmed aims to re-imagine what affirms life. He wants those who see his work, to see beyond the skin, to de-compartmentalize and be reminded of the intersections of the layered human beauty and its uniqueness.
