Biography
Madiha is a London-based photographer, with a BA (Hons) of Photography. Her works are characterized by the juxtaposition of darkness and light that gives shape to a world that is subtly mysterious, yet has a powerful physical presence. Whether showing a human face or transforming an urban environment into a shadowy, graphically bold scene, she balances light, exposure and composition to create a distinctive body of work. Madiha is particularly good at guiding the viewer’s attention by focusing on the small details that animate each image. A scene that is cloaked in darkness will be brought to life by a sharply rendered figure stepping into a shaft of light, or a human subject will be given context by the detailed depiction of surrounding objects or backgrounds.
