Well Hello!
Natalka is the name my Czech family called me growing up, it means “little Natalja”. As a collaborator I have a warm, inclusive, playful effect on set – and I’d love to share that with you and your team.
My studio is based in LA and I travel to SF and NYC often. I went to school in New York City at SVA and trained with world class photographers and artists. I’ve been in the industry in various capacities ever since I was a teenager — when I published my first photo in Thrasher Magazine!
Sustainability, inclusivity and community responsibility are key factors to my business practice.
Natalka Studio is the commercial branch to my fine art practice.
When I’m not making art/photos/film you can find me surfing, picking up trash on the beach, playing in my band or tending to my dreamy garden with my kitty Willow Oak.
I’m glad you came by and I hope you’ll be in touch : Natalja@Natalkastudio.com
