ABOUT ME
NATASHA LORENZEN.
As a child, I wanted to be an artist, an interior designer or an architect.
I studied graphic design and worked for insurance companies, hedge funds and on many, many magazines, but my career took on real meaning when I started working for British Homes and Gardens Magazine as the picture editor and features assistant. I realised rather quickly I wanted to be an interior photographer and took the leap and became a full-time assistant to an interior photographer. It wasn't long before I was shooting for several British magazines. I feel as if my job encompasses all the things I wanted to do as a child. One of my favourite assignments was shooting the Design Profile pages for Home Beautiful magazine. I would shoot talented designers and creatives in their studios and I would leave so inspired and energised.
Luminary began as a passion project with a creative friend. To begin with, the online magazine featured bite-sized stories covering everything from fashion to botanicals. I always wanted the magazine to focus more on inspirational creatives and in October 2021 I was a proud recipient of the Northern Beaches Arts and Creativity grant. I suddenly had the push I needed to take the magazine in the direction I had always hoped it would go and voila, the new version of Luminary Mag. emerged.
I believe the new web-based format will make it easier to read on all platforms and will make it easier for the creatives featured in Luminary Mag. to share on social media.
