Reflecting on 2021
We'll always remember 2021 as a year of new beginnings at Natural Studio.
After being closed for much of 2020 due to COVID-19, we reopened in the spring of 2021 and began photographing people again throughout New York City.
Then, over the summer, we moved into our new studio in Brooklyn.
It felt good to have a space of our own again and to see the studio gradually come to life. Throughout the year, we had the opportunity to photograph and collaborate with people working in acting, design, real estate, technology, fashion, fine art, film, and many other creative and professional fields.
While the people we photographed came from very different backgrounds, many shared something in common: they were engaged in work and ideas that mattered to them.
There's something rewarding about getting to meet so many different people through photography and, for a short time, becoming part of what they're creating or pursuing.
We also continued to experiment, both in the studio and outdoors, making photographs and refining the natural, simple approach to portraiture that continues to define Natural Studio.
After everything that came before it, we're especially grateful for what 2021 brought—the new studio, the people we met, the photographs we made, and the opportunity to begin again.
It's been a memorable year.
Cheers,
NS
