Nadia is a multi award-winning Director and Cinematographer. Raised in New York City, she realized from a young age the power that film and photography have to shine a light on people who might otherwise be overlooked. Nadia rose fast in film, breaking long entrenched stereotypes to become one of the most sought after verité cinematographers. Her fearless determination and dedication to storytelling led her to directing.

The first film Nadia directed, After Maria, was shortlisted for an Academy Award. She was then tapped by First Lady Michelle Obama to make Becoming for Netflix. Becoming was nominated for four Emmys including Best Director, Best Cinematographer and Best Documentary Feature, with Nadia breaking an Emmy record as the first person to receive both Directing and Cinematography nominations for the same project. Nadia shot the documentary of the making of the 2021 Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring The Weeknd, garnering her Best Director at the Sundance Brand Storytelling Awards. Her feature documentary Civil following Attorney Benjamin Crump premiered at Tribeca Film Festival and was awarded the NAACP Award for Best Documentary in 2023. The Brown Dog, a gripping short animated film voiced by the late Michael K. Williams in his last featured performance, was Nadia's first undertaking in animation. The film couldn't be more timely and, after its hugely successful festival run, is being developed into a feature. Nadia's recent Netflix documentary series Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE put into raw, nuanced context the 18 months of training leading up to the moment global girl group KATSEYE was selected. In her latest docuseries, also for Netflix, Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham gets candid, opening up about her life while she prepares for Paris Fashion Week. Nadia’s cinematography credits include Oscar-nominated Trouble the Water and Sundance-nominated Motherland.
