Profiling Feature Photographer Natasha Lesonie
This is the start of a new series where we will be interviewing featured photographers and getting an insight into them and their photography. Today we start with the first person Natasha Lesonie. My name is Natasha, I am a portrait photographer. How long have you been taking photos? Why did you start? I’ve been taking photos for 7 years. It started when my first baby was born.

There is one part of Melbourne that I really don’t think gets enough publicity, our architecture. Flinders Street Station is a very obvious building… | Read the full article
