Natasja Fourie studied visual communication and furthered her studies in art and advertising.But decided to pursue a career in fashion photography and directing. At the age of 20 she left for London where she did a work placement at the ultra hip culture magazine, Dazed&Confused. From there she assisted various fashion photographers including Emma Summerton.
Natasja is recognized for a gonzo approach in documenting her friends and their private lives. Her style is gritty yet clean, racy yet innocent, and fresh yet classic. Mixing photojournalism with fashion photography, she is most known for depicting human vulnerability and the female body while she examines identity and intimacy. Although much of her work employs voyeurism, Natasja has allowed her own life to be put on display as well through numerous self-investigations in her personal work. Her edgy music videos have made her one of the most sought after directors in the SA music industry. Her work has been published in various magazines as diverse as Vice, Nylon, Colors magazine to The Times.
