Natanya, Actor/Model

"Where's that accent from," I asked stupidly at our first meeting. I expected that this tall, willowy actor/model would offer up some exotic Eastern European location. "Ohio," came the reply. Thus started a highly professional, productive and creative working relationship, which lasted until I moved from the city.

Natanya, who plied her trade as a fulltime artists' model at one of Chicago's leading art schools, brought a highly professional and collaborative work ethic to her photographic modeling assignments. She has unparalleled self-composure, which shows through in the exceptional quality of her work. The images presented here are from the various assignments, which we have cooperated on over a two year period.
