About the Artist
Marcus Natt is a self-taught photographer working with analog processes including medium and large format film, wet plate collodion (or tintypes) and darkroom printing. His work takes inspiration from photographers (Gordon Parks, Judith Joy Ross and Andrea Modica) and as well as film (Spike Lee, Ingmar Bergman, Night of the Hunter, Killer of Sheep), aiming to reflect upon artistry, race, youth, struggle and change. Like his subjects, Natt’s process is rooted in a moment, yet both artist and subject bring history to each piece, one that hopefully carries a message forward. Likewise, Natt brings tradition to the modern day with his practice, delicate as it is: every flaw, difficulty and frustration is on display, no matter if it’s his or his subjects’. Moving forward, Natt will focus on photographing strangers and publishing photo books. The works in this GoggleWorks exhibition are intimate portraits of friends (come and gone), family and friends of friends, all made between 2015 and 2024. Born in Brooklyn, NY, Natt now lives and works in Northeast Pennsylvania.
