Hi!

My name is Natascha and I live in Austria in Europe. I live in a village in the middle of meadows and forests. I love spending time with my family, my friends, my pets and of course with my creative hobbies :)

I'm a typical reading girl: I own hundreds of books, but there will never be enough time to read all that I want to read. I'm just crazy about Harry Potter and the whole magic world of it. Harry Potter inspires me and gives me more strength and energy than every other book I've ever read. I'm in love with so many of the characters, for me Harry Potter is the book of a lifetime. If I had to choose the most amazing people that ever lived, I would name Neil Armstrong and J.K. Rowling. (And of course Buzz Aldrin!)
I'm also very interested in nature, science, animals, astronomy and biology.

I am a professional photographer - I finished my lore/apprenticeship in January 2013.

So: Taking photos is one of my creative hobbies! I've started it sixteen years ago: When I was three years old, I took my first photo with our Minolta SLR (still working). Photography has always been an important part of my life. I got my first DSLR when I was fifteen. At the moment I am working with a Nikon D200 and the lenses 50mm/1.4 & 70-200/2.8 II. I am saving money to get a D800 and a wide angle lens soon!

Another of my creative hobbies is writing stories. Four years ago I wrote and sold my first book, maybe some day there will be more, but at the moment writing is just a hobby for me.

I also like drawing very much and I've worked with COPICs for two years know. I know that there are many people that are a lot more talented and have had a lot more practice, but I love creating images with these amazing markers! :)
I haven't drawn with pencils or crayons in a while, but I want to start again in the next few months!

Best Greetings,
Natascha
