Cape Town, South Africa-based photographer Ayesha Kazim’s work is a collection of beautiful intimate portraits that show each subject in a raw and tender way. After living in fourteen countries throughout her childhood, her unique background has given her the ability to connect with all of her subjects in such an organic manner. Her inspiration stems from all of the diverse cultures and experiences that she was exposed to in her upbringing. As she states, she likes to draw inspiration from moments of rest, introspection, and childlike wonder which materializes itself in the photographing of subjects that exude resilience, power, and a humbling sense of confidence.
Ayesha's senior thesis work is also currently on view in the Kimmel Windows along La Guardia Place & West 3rd St. More Info
