Nadia Lee Cohen (born 15 November 1992) is a British artist, photographer, filmmaker, and model. She was born in Essex, England. She studied at the London College of Fashion, graduating with a BA (Hons) in fashion styling and photography and an MA in fashion photography (with highest honors). She later moved to Los Angeles, drawn by Hollywood imagery, and now lives and works there. Nadia is known for character-driven, highly stylized, saturated, and surreal dreamscapes inspired by Americana, 1950s–1970s Britain and America, cinema, commercials, shopping malls, and the leftovers of Western consumerism. As a filmmaker/director, she has created music videos, short films (such as The Hunt) and commercials for artists including Tyler, the Creator, Kali Uchis, A$AP Rocky, Katy Perry, Beyoncé (e.g., a Cowboy Carter teaser), and more recently Aphex Twin; her work has received recognition from awards bodies like the Cannes Lions, VMAs, and others. Commercially, she has shot campaigns and editorials for brands such as Balenciaga, Gucci, Maison Margiela, Schiaparelli, Miu Miu, Valentino, MAC, Adidas, Skims, YSL/Saint Laurent, On Running, and others. She has photographed figures including Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Lana Del Rey, Pamela Anderson, Billie Jean King, Sophia Loren, Chloë Sevigny, and many more.
