The photography of Natalia Balcerska



That's me up there by the way

I'm based in the lovely city of Manchester in the not so lovely country of England but I travel near and sometimes far to take photographs. I guess the farthest I've traveled is Brighton (so far). I'm limited by my lack of own transportation so I live on trains and in train stations.

I take pictures of bands live. I take pictures of lots of other things too. I don't believe in photographic rules because I break them all the time.

I sing along and dance while I shoot bands. You may spot me at gigs that you go to, I'm not too hard to miss! I like to get right in the pit right where the action is so you'll often find me at the front of shows too!

I'm pretty simple when it comes to taking photos. I don't have a lot of fancy equipment mainly due to being flat broke 98% of the time! But if you really want to know, I shoot with a Canon EOS 30D and 3 different lenses that I don't know off the top of my head right now! I recently purchased a flash gun and I'm just getting used to using it...but only if I really have to. I still prefer to shoot flashless.

I shoot for Truth Explosion - you can e-mail at natalia1284@googlemail.com

I like many things, but also probably hate much more than I love.

Please don't take any of my photos without my persmission. Please don't ask to use any of my photos either unless you're the band/artist/record label of the band I've taken the photos of because the answer will just be no. Quite a few of my photos are under license by truth.explosion.magazine and cannot be used anywhere else without their permission.
