Naama Sarid was born in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1977. In 2005 she finished her five years career as an Architect, and worked in Architecture studios the following three years in Israel, and one year in Granada, Spain.
In 2008 she moved from Granada to Madrid, and started working freelance as a photographer for the monthly English speakers publication "In Madrid".
From that time on, she began an intense career as a documentary and conceptual photographer, investigating the analog photography world using many types of cameras; from Diana F+ and pinhole, through LC-A and Lubitel, until Pentax and Hasselblad. Her photos combined her architectural knowledge with the wide possibilities and freedom of photography. Even if she did occasionally works with digital cameras, the main body of works was done with traditional film machines.
At the same time her photographic work was exposed in international events in Spain as MACC (Atlantic Market for Contemporary Creation), free independent arts projects with masdearte.com and laIslaObjeto introduced in ARCO 2011 (INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR), and in the community artists projects CREABOOM.
In Madrid she exhibited in three Solo-Exhibitions, and five Collective-Exhibitions.
She also worked and studied one year in the dark-room laboratory of La Casa Encendida Museum in Madrid, printing her works using traditional techniques and investigating the chemical effects on negatives.
In 2011 she moved back to Tel Aviv, Israel, where she participated in two Solo-Exhibitions and six Collective-Exhibitions, and in events organized by the City-Hall of Tel Aviv- such as Love art 2012 open studio.
In parallel she exhibited her photographic work in a Solo-Exhibition in Mexico and in a Collective-Exhibition in Ukraine. She also curated two Collective-Exhibitions of photographic works from 34 countries in the world, in Galleries in Israel and Argentina.
Her photographic work had been published over the years in magazines all over the world, such as Domus, SF MOMA, 10X15, Area Zinc, OHIO, Anormal-Mag, and more. And was laso used as a book cover.
