Utilizing a plethora of lenses, her ability to motivate audiences is a direct result of approaching story through multiple identities: Multi-heritage, Black, Iraqi, 1st gen, Muslim, LGBTQ, including being a person with multiple Disabilities, neurodivergent + chronic pain.

By illuminating racial injustice, disability inequity, marginalized youth, the first woman VP, and the largest telescope NASA has ever constructed, Nasreen thrives as a leader in content that shifts our culture. Her cinematography has been featured by Apple+, FX Networks, Kamala Harris’ successful Vice Presidential campaign, and Oprah’s EMMY winning series Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.

She Executive Produced East of the River that screened the Tribeca Film Festival, and directed campaigns for NASA and the Women’s March, with an emphasis on LGBTQIA+, Disabled, and BIPOC voices.

Nasreen was honored as Cinematographer of the Year by NASA for her work in the Arctic, and was Director of Photography of the Apple+ show “Dear…” with Billy Porter. In 2022, Nasreen was the Director of Photography for Vogue’s Supreme Models, a six episode docuseries about the Black women who revolutionized fashion.
