In the past year alone, Natalia has displayed her photography in galleries around the world,
including: The National Museum of Cracow, 12 Star Gallery in London, ARCHIP in Prague, Orms in

accolades including: the British Journal of Photography Breakthrough Award 2017, Debuts 2018,
Grand Press Photo 2018, Wena 2012, and she was selected as one of 15 best graduates in creative
fields by It's Nice That in 2018.
Natalia grew up in the industrial realm of Silesian region in the Southern part of Poland (Bytom) and
after 7 years in Scotland, she recently moved to Warsaw, Poland.
Commenting on her work, she said, “I am an observer. Drawing inspiration from various conditions
of the reality around me, from the great interest in the modern, dynamic art scene but also from my personal experiences, I believe in the power of images to convey the emotions, truths and
challenges of the modern reality. My approach to picture making is to present ordinary, non-
idealised, never staged reality.”
