Fernando N.

Experienced Photographer for Special Events, Corporate, Portraits, and Parties

Born in Brazil in 1949, moved to New York in 1972. Natalici's iconic photography of the East Village art scene in the late 70's and early 80's includes sought after images of a young Jean-Michel Basquiat, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Keith Haring, Blondie, The Ramones and more. In 1976 and 1977 Natalici was hired as Art Director and Still photographer of Amos Poe's two seminal, underground Manhattan art films, "Unmade Beds" & "The Foreigner."

As an Art Director, Fernando played a key role in designing for historic venues such as CBGB's, The Mudd Club, Area and Danceteria. Natalici's photos of Keith Haring’s early years were recently cataloged by the Keith Haring Foundation, with his art design for Jean-Michel Basquiat having been profiled in Art in America. As a master printer & photo consultant, Fernando played a pivotal role in helping Venice Biennial artist Vik Muniz develop his Met exhibited Memory Rendering Series.

Most recently, Fernando’s work has been featured in the Jeffrey Deitch curated show & book of the same title, “Area”— at The Hole Gallery in NYC— with his film stills from the 70’s presently exhibited at NYU’s prestigious Tisch School of The Arts.

Today, Fernando is open for work shooting corporate/private events, weddings, business interiors as well as corporate portraits.
