Featured ARTIST: NOMI

...
Based in the USA, British photographer - Nomi - life took a turn in 1995 when he was embedded in NATO to cover the Bosnian conflicts. The experience compelled him to leave his privilege background and eventually his postgraduate studies to specialize as a conflict and humanitarian photographer with the hope of making a difference to mankind.

Over the past 15 years, his images of war, disease, social issues and strife has been widely published globally.

Nomi devotes about 30% of his time yearly doing pro bono work for aid and humanitarian agencies. It is his work with UNICEF and World AIDS Day that brings him close to our shores; providing us this rare opportunity.

During his stay in SEA, Nomi will be working on a photo essay for the Selangor Spastic Centre, the Malaysian AIDS Council, UNICEF and commencing talks with Ti-Ratana Penchala Centre; all of which are very close to the hearts of volunteers in Scrap-n-Crop.com.

Nomi will be utilizing his extensive experiences in advertising, portraiture and runway photography to assist Scrap-n-Crop.com to raise funds for the Selangor Spastic Centre. 20% of proceeds made from photography classes and private photography session will be donated.

Nomi and Scrap-n-Crop.com thanks you in advance for your support.


{ Details of classes and private photography sessions will be published shortly. We thank those that have registered and booked "blindly" purely on faith in Scrap-n-Crop.com! }
