Natasha Durlacher

Having originally come from a fine art background, working as a set designer and muralist for film and theatre sets, she has used her camera since childhood as her recorder of visual memories, expression of ideas, emotions and  important moments in time. The enriching experience of working in the art world and having travelled extensively throughout the Far East inspired her to express herself and other peoples stories, through her photography. 

During these recent  periods of enforced isolation, images of solitary figures and empty spaces can emphasise feelings of melancholy, yet at a different moment in history these same images may be seem peaceful, calm and uplifting. 

For the past year during lockdown she has been trying to capture, as much as possible, our new way of life, with a strong focus on the stories of teenagers and young adults.
