Nadirah Zakariya (b. 1984, Kuala Lumpur)

Born and raised in Malaysia, Nadirah Zakariya discovered photography at the age of 17 in a small town in Japan and came of age in New York City. She draws inspiration for her works from her varied and multicultural upbringing.

Nadirah is an internationally published photographer with works in numerous publications such as The New York Times Magazine, Bloomberg, NYLON, VICE, and Dazed and Confused. 

Her work has been exhibited in New York, London, Paris and Kuala Lumpur, among others.

Nadirah has taken part in the Art Girl Rising residency at Sepat House, Kuala Lumpur. Most recently she co-founded and co-curated the ambitious KL20X20 Photo Project, which brought together 18 photographers in 8 different exhibition venues in KL. It has now expanded to become Exposure Plus Photo, an annual celebration of photography across South East Asia.
