Nath-Sakura (born September 11, 1973 in Girona) is a Catalan-Spanish photographer. She is of unknown parents and was raised in an orphanage. She became a photographer because "she couldn’t paint", as she explained to Art Nou, the Catalan reference art magazine.

Biography

In her early years, Nath-Sakura became a PhD graduate in political philosophy. She then took up a career as a professional reporter and later decided to transition to living as female.[1] Her work is mostly about the movement between genders and aims to show with great subtlety the "metaphysical brutality"[citation needed] in being born again.

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.

Both a photo reporter and an art photographer, Nath-Sakura shows the real in a tragic and quirky way through pictures yielding themselves to multiple layers of reading.
