Natasha Sanchez is a New Orleans-based artist, songwriter, performer, and educator who blends photography, music, and storytelling to capture the beauty and complexity of the world around us. Whether behind a microphone or developing images with the sun, her work is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and a deep appreciation for life’s details.
Sanchez specializes in lumen printing—a 19th-century cameraless process that uses sunlight to create ethereal, one-of-a-kind images. Her prints often feature natural objects she gathers along the way, turning everyday finds into striking visual narratives. Through this process, she explores the relationship between humanity and nature, blending old-world techniques with modern artistry.
As a singer-songwriter, Sanchez has been a steady presence in New Orleans’ music scene, performing at venues like Neutral Ground Coffeehouse and Buffa’s Bar & Restaurant. Her songs are reflective, pulling from personal experiences and observations. She doesn’t just sing—she tells stories, bringing listeners along with heartfelt lyrics and an expressive voice that makes every performance feel personal.
Beyond performing and creating, Sanchez is passionate about sharing her knowledge. She teaches workshops in lumen and cyanotype printing, guiding others through hands-on experiences that blend art and science. Her “Sun Print Sundays” series invites people to slow down, engage with nature, and create something unexpected.
Whether developing a print in the Louisiana sun, writing a new song, or leading a workshop, Natasha Sanchez reminds us to look closer, find inspiration in the details, and experience art in new ways.
