In 2008, Natalie founded The Photo School in London, building a 400+ community of photographers across London and teaching an innovative programme of practical photography workshops for two years. Natalie then met Graham Barker of Walk East during 2010 and together they created 15 funded photo walk courses in Tower Hamlets, East London over a 5 year collaboration.
The groups shown below used photography to creatively work through issues like exploring diversity in faith, learning English, healthier cooking, protecting local housing heritage and community building and strengthening. Together these publications and photo books were produced including three group photography exhibitions in collaboration with Oxford House:
