Jehad Nga. Photographer. Somalia.








My Shadow. My Opponent. Training for the Kibera Olympic boxing team. Now showing at M+B Gallery. LA.
Nga is a 30 year old American photo journalist who has worked a lot in 'conflict areas' such as Iraq and Darfur. Jehad is also a trained medic... he helps people by bringing their stories to the public through his images and also by offering medical care in times of need. He is currently working in Somalia... revenue from the work produced in Somalia is going to build a school there. Jehad's photos all share a distinct and beautiful quality of light, shadow, and color... see what I mean here
