She doesn't only create pictures, she creates art... Nousha has an incredible talent in blending the person with the environment. If there is one thing that makes her work outstanding, is her eye for details, that speaks stories!

Nousha is an unassuming visionary and artist. She is as committed to honoring her craft as a photographer as she is to capturing images that can be simultaneously moving, tender, uplifting and potent.
