...lets see...
i started school thinking i was in love with robotics... studied applied physics biology and human physiology in school and ended up with a degree in Electrical engineering...
now i am getting an MFA with a concentration in photography... i 'think' this is what i am gong to spend the rest of my meaningless little life doing...
As for work, I am the Director of Photography at the 20x24 Studio in New York.
In my spare time I build cameras. Large Cameras, fix motorcycles and recently got into RC trucks and planes.
Lens of any kind... especially the ones with large image circles fascinate me.
I shoot a lot of film and photo paper.
I have been posting a lot on instagram lately so you can check me out there: insta

His work is always in the depth of mystery and extreme a great photographer to watch.. keep inspiring..
Extraordinary, individual and sensitive work. Just a great artist.
Nafis has a rare and clear vision. Watching him bring each step of it to fruition is an exciting and inspiring journey. His eye for detail and the subtleties of light are impressive. Watch his work and watch what happens. You'll be surprised and delighted. His is an exceptional and true talent.
It's been said before, but Maneeac is ridiculously amazing. His attention to detail and perfection make his photographs utterly beautiful. He's obviously impossibly creative and I am infinitely jealous of his work. I find it hard to believe such talent can come from just one person: he is inspiring.
It's magical!! Sit down, take the popcorn and relax! This gallery is a show of pure talent and art! I could spend my life admiring every single photo of Nafis Azad!
My best friend in college, thank you for what you have given me. You inspire me to be a better person and an even better photographer. Thank you for that and so much more. As-salam alaikum Nafis, love you man.
Nafis puts so much thought and time into planning and organizing his photographs, and it truly shows through his beautiful lighting techniques and experimental nature. He is amazingly dedicated to the art of photography, and his efforts are apparent as you scroll through his excellent photostream. :)
A kind soul, true friend, and a photographer who thinks on his feet.

Nafis has a way of looking at the world that illuminates the most mundane of objects into a living, breathing presence.

To see his photos is to witness the thought process and work of an exceptional artist.
