Nathalie Gordon never actually intended to be a photographer, even though her university tutor spotted her potential early on. It’s a fact that feels hard to believe once you’ve seen her dazzling approach to beauty photography – an aesthetic that is completely assured, deliciously high-end, and defined by a signature use of high-impact gloss and vibrant colour.
While finding her distinct macro-beauty style was a creative breakthrough, it was also a matter of survival. When Nathalie took the leap from London to Los Angeles, she did so with a ticking clock: she had just three years to secure a working visa. To stay, she had to prove her work was more "exceptional" than the competition. That high-stakes pressure fuelled her creative development, and the gamble paid off; she now holds permanent residency in LA, shooting for global giants like Wella, Starbucks, Louis Vuitton, and Clinique.
