Farah Nosh (Arabic: فرح نوش) is an Iraqi Canadian photojournalist.[1] Her work about Iraq and its conflicts has been exhibited in galleries in the U.S. and UK.
She has appeared on the CNN Inside The Middle East segment "Someone You Should Know", which explores different persons and their effects on the region.
Nosh was born and grew up in Canada. She attended the University of British Columbia in 1998 to study geography for her BA, and then in 2002 she undertook a diploma in photojournalism at the Western Academy of Photography in Victoria. Farah currently resides in New York City.[citation needed]
Although Nosh is Iraqi, she never knew her family in Iraq before the conflict. When the U.S.–Iraq war began in 2003, she left the compound where western journalists were based and lived isolated in a small house in western Baghdad with her family. Therefore, she spent the war without much sense of what was going on outside of the area. Subsequently, she has covered both the Iraqi civilian and American military forces sides.
In 2005 Nosh undertook a large-format photography project in Canada and Alaska, documenting the remaining fluent speakers of the Haida language. In 2011 that project culminated with an exhibition and book launch that took place at the Haida Gwaii Museum.
In 2006, because of the steep decline of security in Iraq, there was a lack of support for her projects within Baghdad. She then created a body of work, covertly traveling around Baghdad to record the lives of Iraqis affected by the war. This work won her the Overseas Press Club Award for Feature Photography.[3]
She began reporting on the Iraqi refugee crisis in Damascus in 2008.
As well as working in Iraq, she has also photographed in Afghanistan, Israel, Palestine, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere.
Her picture of an Iraqi boy made the cover of Time magazine.
