My name is Natalia – and it is lovely to meet you.
How does a young woman with a career in the finance industry and an accounting qualification become a respected photographer, videographer, and content creator? I’ll tell you.
For as long as I can remember, I was drawn to creativity and the visual arts. I love the way it makes my brain tingle and my heart beat fast – but being born and raised in Croatia, I was expected to get a “real” job that put food on the table, even if it left me feeling uninspired. After the birth of my children, however, my commitment to unleashing my inner creator came alive and I helped create content for a very successful YouTube channel with over 500k subscribers.
I have been fine-tuning my skills as a photographer, videographer, and content creator for years and have been blessed to have been provided mentorship and tutelage from some of the most prominent visual artists and photographers. In the past several months as the pandemic continues to keep many of us isolated and disconnected, I have been using my photography and videography to bring joy, happiness, and a sense of escape to those around me. Everyday my skills grow and I am lucky enough to expand my ever-growing portfolio with gorgeous landscapes, stunning still-lifes, and darling portraits of my family. My dedication, commitment, and passion for the visual arts has helped guide me into this next phase of my life, and I look forward to sharing my work with you.
So, how does a woman with a highly successful career in finance become a respected photographer? Simple.
She follows her passion.
And I thank you sincerely for being part of that journey.
