Nader Davoodi is an award winning photojournalist.
For the past decades, he has been working both on
and off the record to produce ethnographically detailed
works that document a very important period in contemporary
history of our life. While his work can best be described as
documentary, he aims to artistically capture important moments in everyday life rather than merely document.

From 1991 to 1994, Nader lived in New York City, where his love for photography and the city itself produced an exceptional stock. He has captured some of the most precious moments of happiness and passion in his collection of the 12th Asian Games in Hiroshima 1994, Sydney Olympic games in 2000, as well as four World Cups, 1994, 1998, 2002, and 2006.

Nader’s love of moving pictures has been inevitable, and as an independent Film maker, he has put his unique style to the celluloid. His Documentary Films include:

- Aref Squared.
- 13 And a Half, a documentary about an Iranian theatre, and it’s backstage.
- 10x15 minutes documentary series about the Iranian historical sites;
- Canadian Muslims, 10x27 minutes documentary series about the views & challenges of Canadian Muslims.
- Ta’azieh, a documentary about Iraqi Shias ceremony of Ashura;
