My name is Natasha Balletta, I am a lifestyle portrait photographer based in Bedfordshire. I first picked up a camera when I visited Australia in 2007 for a holiday and that is where I discovered my passion for photography. I have always been passionate about wildlife and it was my dream to visit Australia. I am lucky to do the two things I love the most. With photography you see the world differently and appreciate the beautiful scenery that is around you more. When I photograph landscapes it is the lighting that I get most excited about, Spring and Autumn is particularly beautiful with the gentle lighting and colours. My goal is to travel more and to inspire people through my images to visit places they have never been to before.

Despite being partially sighted, with photography I have found something that I love doing with a passion and my visual problems do not get in the way. When I am out photographing wildlife or pets I always try to capture their character and I hope that my photos tell a story.
