Photography
Please see the "Photography" page for images from my past and current series. My work is primarily done on film in both black and white and color. However, in this ever-advancing world of technology, I find myself searching for more of a connection with my pieces. My latest work is an ongoing series of Lumen Prints, solar exposures made from organic objects. Creating a 'portrait' of a flower or leaf, in its true form, is, to me, just as telling about the world of today.

Performance Pieces
Nattie is the solo acoustic music and performance act created and performed by photographer and songwriter Natasha Sanchez. Nattie performance pieces generally involve social themes dealing with the issues of self-worth and respect. Through storytelling in the form of light comical bantering between songs and projections of film-based traditional photography, Nattie illustrates her thoughts on themes ranging from self-discovery at unlikely places (Nattie @ the DMV), self-respect in a world of pick-up lines and good drinkin’ times (My G-String is Out of Tune) and self-worth learned from lessons as a substitute teacher (Nattie and the Class of 2019).
