Michaela Nagyidaiová (Bratislava) is a Slovak photographer based in Bratislava. Her work analyses the connection between landscape and memory, the transformation of Central & Eastern EU from communism to capitalism, migration, and identity. She is interested in how ideologies and politics influence the personal layers of everyday life or family and native environment. Drawing inspiration from unresolved past events, though also contemporary issues, she usually works on long-term and personal projects that allow her to combine her photographs with text, archival material, or video.
She graduated with an MA in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography from UAL: London College of Communication in 2019. Michaela is a member of FUTURES since 2023 and Women Photograph since 2021. Her reportage work was featured in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Canon EU, and her personal work was published in Camera Austria, Fotograf Magazine, PH-Museum, Calvert Journal, Blind Magazine, and ETC magazine.
