Natan is most interested in reviewing long-term projects (finalized or in progress) demonstrating a strong relationship between concept and form. He is not interested in seeing nudes or historic processes. Selected photographers’ work will be shared with HCP’s curatorial team. Teaching and guest speaker opportunities can be discussed with relevant photographers (previous teaching experience is preferred). Additionally, he can be helpful in fine tuning core concepts, editing & sequencing, and effective presentation.
