"Anslen Kiefer said “memory is my only homeland,” and I find myself moving through the world always looking for ways to keep, remember and preserve memories, people and experiences. In all of my searching, the most effective way I’ve found so far has been my camera."


Nat is a Colombian-American analog photographer, darkroom printer and writer based in Hollywood, Florida. They have a BFA in photography and imaging with a minor in creative writing from NYU’s Tisch School of The Arts, and they were born and raised in south Florida.

Nat's photographic work consists of vibrantly complex images that capture the everyday through a meditative and transformative lens. Nat only shoots on film and prints all of their work in the darkroom. Every aspect of their work, from film selection and processing to darkroom printing, adheres to traditional photographic techniques, and they solely use these analog methods to achieve their colorful and rich images. Seeing an original darkroom print in person is the best way to view Nat’s work.

Currently, they are working on their first book—a long term photo project on Coney Island consisting of color darkroom prints and color slides that span over three years.

Nat is also known for their atmospheric night landscapes created by long exposures shot on film. They enjoy walking in the middle of the night when the world is asleep, searching for places to transform with their lens. Their BFA thesis project, “There Is Something To Be Said About The Night” (2022), encapsulates what they describe as a “long continuous walk” through the American East Coast suburbs—a meditative practice they began during lockdown in 2020. In their project statement, Nat reflects, “A friend once told me that meaning comes from doing what feels right, and when I was at the lowest point in my life, this is what felt right, and still does.” 

Nat is the creative director of South Florida rock band Staircase Spirit, and they create and coordinate all of the visual media for the band.
