Natalie Fay Green is a fine art photographer based in the Washington, D.C. area and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Working primarily in black and white, she photographs the people and places she encounters in everyday life, with an emphasis on childhood, family, landscape, and the spaces where the familiar becomes uncertain.
Green’s work grows out of sustained observation. Many of her photographs are made close to home and over long periods of time, allowing relationships, places, and recurring gestures to become part of the work. Her photographs move between documentary observation and personal interpretation, finding ambiguity, humor, tension, and beauty in moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
Her work has been exhibited nationally at galleries and institutions including the Center for Fine Art Photography, New York Center for Photographic Art, Southeast Center for Photography, PhotoPlace Gallery, Black Box Gallery, A. Smith Gallery, Maryland Federation of Art, and the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., among others. Her photographs have also appeared in publications including F-Stop Magazine and Don’t Take Pictures. She was awarded first place in The Washington Post Travel Photography Contest and has received recognition from the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops.
Green holds a B.A. in English and Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and an LL.M. from Georgetown University. After practicing law, she turned increasingly to photography as a way of observing and making sense of the world around her. She is largely self-taught as a photographer.
