Photographer

Kholood Eid is a documentary photographer working with stills, audio, video, writing and editing. She also teaches photography to a group of preteens at an after-school program through the Bronx Documentary Center and has taught graduate students at New York University as well as Columbia University. Prior to living in New York City, she was a coordinator at Pictures of the Year International.
