Nahna James

My pronouns are They/He/She. I am a Malta-based Saint Lucian poet, researcher, nude model, actor, photographer, activist, painter and author. I was born in Owerri, Nigeria but of Saint Lucian nationality and have lived transnationally in the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, Czech, Georgia, France, and Malta. My writing encompasses a variety of disciplines such as logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, fiction, music, teaching rhetoric, clinical psychology, linguistics – however, I am best recognized for writing horror and mystery fiction.

Get It Done

Growing up in a small town, I found comfort in poetry and became captivated by the power of words. I started my modelling career at twelve, diving into nude modelling by fifteen. It was not easy at first but I was young and fierce. Aside from being a poet, I have been widely acknowledged for my dramatic literature which delves into fulfilling an emotional sphere. In addition to writing, I am a painter, a researcher, a nudist activist, a philosopher and a photographer with attention to detail. Year after year my fascination in photography has increased, making me pursue its technicality as well as its artistry. After completing my studies, I have focused on working on my practice being influenced by the best poets from different epochs and nationalities. Which has caused me to have a distinct voice, one that mingled individuality with universality, which has helped develop the platform for my success.

Grit. Drive. Focus.

As an experienced nude model, I’ve dedicated myself to the artistic and tasteful portrayal of the human form. With a passion for both art and the body, I’ve built a respected career, working with painters, photographers, and sculptors to inspire their creative visions. My poetry captures the beauty of everyday moments, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. Through vivid imagery, I explore themes of nudism, love, sexuality, loss, and the human experience. Despite my success, I remain grounded, because at the end of the day, I’m still the same kid from Saint Lucia.

Dream. Strive. Achieve.

My debut poetry collection, My Favourite Poems: Poetry From The Pen Of A Nigerian Teenager, gained critical acclaim and established me as a notable poetic voice. The work explores vulnerability and resilience, capturing the duality of the human experience, and resonated with readers worldwide. My photography spans sexualism, landscape, fashion, erotism, portraiture, naturism, and documentary, all marked by a distinctive emotional depth and storytelling. Over the years, I’ve received prestigious awards and my work has been showcased in galleries, international publications, and online platforms. I also lead writing workshops, advocating for the transformative power of poetry and photography in connecting us to our shared humanity.
