2 February s Judge Natasha Sanchez Natasha Sanchez is a photographer, songwriter and performer from New Orleans, Louisiana. She studied History and Cultural Geography at Southeastern Louisiana University where she received a Bachelor of Arts in After working in the film and music industries in the 1990s, she drifted towards photography, learning through experience by working in darkrooms and photo labs. She often combines her music with her photographs in a one-woman show called "Nattie".

Her love of the darkroom keeps her shooting film and printing on fiber based papers, as well as experimenting with vintage techniques. Her works have been seen in exhibits around the country, including Louisiana, New York, Texas and Washington.
