Natasha Calzatti

Natasha Calzatti honed her chops in the slums of Beverly Hills photographing a galaxy of urban stars for the likes of VIBE, THE SOURCE, and NEWSWEEK.  The latter magazine further recognized her work, submitting an image of Snoop Doggy Dogg cradling his newborn boy in the annual Alfred Eisenstaedt Awards as one of the best photographs to appear within its pages.

In 2004, Women in Photography International bestowed First Prize in the Professional category for “Jump, Trailer Park” in which Natasha captured the simplicities and sweet eccentricities of trailer park youth.  This piece is part of a near decade-long project and the basis of her May 2006 show at Beverly Hills’ Farmani Gallery.

Commercially, Natasha’s youth oriented work led to bold lifestyle campaigns for STARTER sports apparel and GIRLS SCOUTS OF AMERICA and stills commissioned for WORLDCOM’s “Generation D” television spots.  With a recent and successful commission of documentary, lifestyle photography for San Diego, Farm Advertising, 2006 has presented itself to be a fruitful year.
