Nathalie Balsan-Duverneuil, aka Nath-Sakura (born November 21, 1973, in Girona) is a Catalan-Spanish photographer. She is of unknown parentage and was raised in an orphanage. She became a photographer because "she couldn’t paint", as she explained to Art Nou, the Catalan art magazine.

Biography

Nath-Sakura graduated with a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Montpellier. She then took up a career as a professional reporter. Her identity as a trans woman plays a large role in her work, which often narrates her own transition and those of others.[1] Her work is mostly about the "movement between genders and aims to show with great subtlety the 'metaphysical brutality' in being born again."[2]

She now lives in the south of France, near Montpellier, and works for many non-specialized daily and weekly newspapers as a photo reporter. To date she has published five photography books and appeared in many exhibitions. She is one of the associated artists of the Bertold Foundation in Lugano, Switzerland and is both a photo reporter and an art photographer.
