Nata Chebotareva

Natalia Chebotareva was born in 1972 in Leningrad.

In 1995, she graduated as an economist from the St. Petersburg State University.

She didn’t start with photography until much later, in 2009. Now Natalya manages the photo gallery ZERNO in St. Petersburg.

«In my work I prefer the analogue and black and white photography. If you ask me why, it’s simple – I enjoy the birth of a photograph. I enjoy the smell of film, the touch of photo paper, the light of the red lantern. Most of all I enjoy the magic that comes with developing film and printing photographs in my darkroom. The moment of co-creation is so physical; that sensual magic is long lost in the world of digital camera.
