bio

Konteeva Natalya Vladimirovna (Kolenteika) was born in Khabarovsk in 1982.

 Natalya Kolenteika started working as a commercial photographer, but this did not bring satisfaction, so she began to explore a different approach to photography: studying art and the work of famous photographers. To start working as an art photographer, Natalya went back to school: first to a photography school, then to courses in artistic portraiture. This gave her an understanding of what kind of photographer she really is and what she wants to show with her photography.

 Natalya has been taking female portraits for a long time. This is how her view of female photography and the role of women in society developed. Gradually, portrait photoshoots began to turn into photo projects that touched on social themes. In her projects, Natalya explores women in the context of time, culture, and the problems of modernity. Natalya’s photo projects are filled with deep meaning and interesting research. With their visual and semantic accompaniment, the projects immerse the viewer in the topic, making them empathize.
