Jassia Ahmad is a Pakistani American photographer based in New York City. She earned a BS in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is currently a BFA candidate at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Before pursuing photography, Jassia spent several years working as a research assistant in a psychology lab. While she found this research meaningful, she became increasingly interested in understanding people through an artistic lens rather than an academic one.
Jassia’s practice consists of conceptual work communicating experiences she finds difficult to verbalize. She uses her art to make sense of her emotions while creating space for others to recognize themselves. Having experienced a sense of isolation growing up between two cultures, she creates work that allows both herself and others to feel seen.
