Mo Daoud

 

Born in the desert of Arabia. Raised in the English countryside.
Resides in the heart of New York.

Mo has been producing iconic photography for over the last twenty years. He started in London working for emerging clients such as Dazed and Confused and has since developed a style that has been described as “polished rawness” that can be seen from his series “Black Gold” to advertising clients such as Nike. In the nineties his portrait work defined the urban, hip hop music and cultural scene photographing some of the pioneering legends of the genre culminating in an intimate behind the scenes documentary of Sean “P-Diddy” Combs. Mo shoots and directs portraits, beauty and still life for advertising and editorial clients. He is based in New York City
