Naveed Nour

Naveed Nour is known for being a great photographer. The photos he takes are looked at as pieces of art. Most of his photos in his gallery online, were mostly of people in their daily routine without noticing the camera. His best pictures seem to be taken in the time of the Iran/Iraq war. 





I chose this picture out of the gallery because it looks like two different cultures, one in color and the other in black and white, that are just waiting. The people in the picture look like they're just killing time by reading the paper on a bench, or waiting in front of a building that could be anything public like a bank. Something that also interested me was that the people in black and white seem to be looking up and the people in color seem to be looking down. I'm not sure of the reason but that could be something that Naveed wanted to capture in making this photo.

  1. Good observations Matthew. I am fascinated by the personal behaviors of individuals in a group and I am trying to show some of it in this montage.
