Nature nominee

A photostory about the interaction of a man and a force of nature - a blue whale. The feeling of mutual respect and coexistence in the same medium is what makes this project wholesome.

Natalie Karpushenko is a fine art and fashion photographer located in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. She mainly works in the genre of portrait and fashion photography, but also does projects about nature and travelling. Since NAtalie is highly concerned with ecology and sustainability, she performs passion projects about ocean pollution, excessive plastic consumption and recycling. Her main passion is the ocean and she does photo projects about swimming with whales. Her main goal is to convey and explore beauty through her images: whether it is a beauty of a person, or a beauty that can be found in nature. She perfroms studio photoshoots as well as travel projects.

Natalie's favorite style of photography involves minimalistic, clar lines, baance of light and shadow, and saturation with color. She likes dynamic pictures: in her portfolio you can find passion projects with ballet dancers, as well as wild animals like cheetahs and whales.
