Bio

I’m a Photographer and Filmmaker from North West London who comfortably handles portraiture, interior design, food & beverage, lifestyle and product photography - as well as all aspects of video production. From producing and directing to filming and editing.

I began shooting portraits in January 2017. Photography quickly became my main passion - it allowed me to paint anything I wanted, …quickly. I’ve been doing photography professionally for over 4 years.

My versatility comes from my previous employment with the Lore Group. They are an international hospitality company that designs, transforms, manages and operates hotels and food & drink concepts in Europe and the United States. Thoughtful design and interesting use of space is at the core of everything they do. The experience I gained during my time with Lore is invaluable.

Style

I love photographing people the most - women more specifically, although not exclusively. I love the stories told by skin tone, by eyes, by hair. I tell these stories with serene light and shadows. Regardless of the feelings evoked by the art - dark or light, my work must be graceful. The same peace and grace that is found in Joy can also be found in mourning and melancholia.

I want to capture the human condition in its entirety despite disproportionately presenting the dark. The dark is always repressed. The music sways me in that direction.

Testimonials

Yadi 
Shooting with Kadir was more than simply a day of taking photographs. It was a meeting of mind, body and soul.
We met in a cafe and got straight to existential musings. By the time we started shooting I felt like I’d known him for a lifetime. We wound our way around the beautiful Kew Gardens- every corner like a different country

The outfits reflected the surroundings and the surroundings dictated the mood of the shot. We created storylines together through a shared view of the world. We discussed our different backgrounds, the similarities and the differences. I climbed trees, we danced around each other to get the perfect shot. We shared musical tastes and we parted ways like old friends. It was a dreamy day of exploration and the photos reflected that. It’s a day I’ll never forget.

Having collaborated with Kadir on several projects, I would highly recommend his professional photography services to anyone seeking creativity and authenticity. I am honoured to have modelled, both for my own projects and several of Kadir's, all of which produced outstanding quality photography. He has always remained accommodating, kind and was extremely personable from the outset. 
It helps to work with someone so good humoured too; making long tiring shoots more bearable.

Ange
Kadir is a great photographer to work with - he shows innovation, precision, creativity and a key eye for detail - all the attributes needed for a successful shoot. 

As a designer these are all the skills I look for when conducting a team of models and this would explain why Kadir Gold is a photographer to look out for.
