India Sleem is a director and photographer born and raised in Manchester, but currently based in New York. She was first introduced to photography at a young age and started being interested in filmmaking after obsessively watching old music videos — Janet Jackson, M.I.A, Grace Jones.

Her work is human-centric, and she is interested in creating highly emotive work focused on colour, composition, and culture. Her work has been featured on It’s Nice That, Instagram, Nowness, Fader, and Urban Outfitters, and recent directorial projects include music videos for Allie X and Southern Shores.
