REVIEWS AND PRESS COVERAGE
Vancouver Sun
Fine art photographer has returned from classical interiors to streetside graffiti as backdrops for his latest life studies of men and women. Regarding the latest in his ever impressive works, Banaji says, "As the city sheds its old skin and graffiti walls come down I've tried to capture the evanescence of human beauty juxtaposed against the transience of human creations."

I absolutely love the photographs, they are stunning! Nausher uses light like painting!
The Sinclair Review
What a fantastic collection of images.
Janine Brinck
The Waterpainter
So often I am reviewing mere snapshots. And then sometimes I am graced to review Nausher, who made the leap from photography to art.Do you see what this man has done?
Vancouver Sun
Nausher Banaji uses his first name when producing the dramatic, even epic, nude photos that have been his oeuvre for some years. Hit www.nausher.com to see his female and nude models against the monumental masonry of world-capital buildings, as well as their Vancouver equivalents. This week, somewhat echoing the later jean-Michel Basquiat, he posted a half dozen photographs incorporating downtown-Vancouver street murals.Malcolm Parry

Beautifully composed and executed work. Strong,sensual,seductive and thought provoking.
Michelle Olley ,
Editor, Author, Art Critic. London UK:
"PhotoArt Magazine recently described this Pixel Artist's work as: 'Spectacular, original and brilliant, Nausher has made nudity synonymous with sublime art. He transports emotion masterfully through complete control of light and shadow, in a style that is at once dynamic, singular and immaculate.' A former poet and advertising high-flyer, Nausher now creates digital images that move through a dizzying array of light, colour and mood. Visit his website at www.nausher.com for more of these fantasy figures."

I like Nausher's work a lot. Especially "the mirror of memory" is awesome. I think his nude photography is very expressive and natural.

Both his words and his photographs part the shadows of our naivety and let the light of Nausher's brilliance through. May God continue to bless Nausher as He has blessed us by putting Nausher among us.

The inspiration is from european classical civilisation,where the
scuptural forms are idealised versions of reality with dream world
effects from the drapery.The beauty of the body is abstract and
projected into a light of perfection.The photographer is making a
very direct reference to it.

The Brent Review
Outstanding, haunting, excellent compositions. They tap and dwell in the unconscience.
The Moin Thing
There are people who may not comprehend what Nausher has accomplished here. Lets leave them in the darkness of their cubicles. Life is too short and this man is too incredible. Nausher has perfected passion in his photography. Indeed,he brings Photograpy to a new level.

I am struck by the magic and madness of your imagery. I am a teacher of fine arts in Madrid. Your pictures are disturbing yet enchanting, bewitching and beautiful. You bring the sublime insanity of the Masters to your 'canvas'

You've done it again. Such excellent work.
I am in awe. Love each one, but the one I keep referring to is "Instant Eternity". Seems very spiritual and transcending.

Nausher, first of all, as an artist, he is good. No, he is not good. He is amazingly brilliant. I really have never seen anything like this in my life. He is the first person I've reviewed who works with colors this way.

The integration of the texture of the flesh and the architectural environment is perfect here.
Pamela Martin

Fine art at its finest. The poetry is as beautiful as the photography.
Steven T Ziegler
Stunning work. Simply stunning.

I just wanted to tell Nausher that i really admire him, his pictures, his poetry, and the way they make you feel.

ModeTone Times,
I have never before found an artist I admire so much that I feel the need to contact him or her. Nausher's art is incredible. I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon it. I saw his photographs and I was amazed. And then I saw his face, now I'm a believer! Only a person of such incredible beauty can create such beauty in return.
Pressman, ABN
"I am most impressed. Particularly Nausher's use of color and digital manipulation. I've seen so many images where somebody throws a handful of effects at an image, says "Kewl!", and thinks it's artistic. I find in Nausher's work an exceptional balance of lighting, tone, and composition, and I wish him great success."
Carlos Pinto Coehlo,
Photographer, Spain
I visited today your works for the first time. I must say I am touched by the impressive composition of your colours and forms. And there's elegance in your art! Thank you for sharing!
Marie www.artoflove.com
It is rare that I am so thoroughly moved by photographs. I just had to let you know that you have found the art. You are saying.... what I feel.

When I discovered your website,I totally became an instant fan
of your work. As an artist myself I can relate to your imagination
and creativity in your images. What I want to know is are there
any available books of your work being sold at book stores in
Los Angeles, California? Please let me know, high praise

Keith Cleversley,

Jack Gilbert

"A dashing and poetic character Nausher's art photography is equally handsome and his method of utilizing the human form in his work is quite striking. His use of light and composition are altogether his own. He was featured in Michelle Olley's book Love Lust Desire: Masterpieces of Photography alongside the likes of Bob Carlos Clarke, Nan Goldin, Norbert Guthier, and Trevor Watson."
