Natasha Lee is one of my favorite photographers and I love watching her directorial career take off, bringing her refined aesthetic to film. Natasha is a Malaysian-Chinese Travel, Lifestyle & Hospitality Photographer & Director whose visuals evoke a sense of presence, of the fleeting moments that make an experience memorable. Her imagery is steeped in a sense of warmth and leisure, inviting viewers to experience new tastes, possibilities, and perspectives. Natasha was recently included in SHOOT Magazine’s 19th Annual New Director’s Showcase and was a 2021 fellow at Moving Picture Institute’s Cinematography workshop. She is an Alumni of Commercial Directing Bootcamp.

Please watch In The Visible, a 10 minute short film that dismantles Asian American stereotypes and the model minority myth through storytelling in the words of the community members themselves.

The “boxes” Natasha sent out to get work.
