About

Hi, I'm Natasha, the photographer behind Mash Studio in Durban.

I photograph weddings, families and lifestyle sessions in Durban and beyond.

My story01 / 03

It started in 2012, with my first real camera.

I started out shooting nightlife and birthday parties. Fourteen incredible years behind the lens, and here we are: instead of bubble dresses and stilettos, it's veils and baby bellies.

The biggest shift came when I had my daughter.

Watching her grow and documenting her life changed what I wanted to photograph. The everyday moments, the people who matter, the memories you'll want to keep.

Mash Studio is the new chapter.

A brand that fits who I am now. Less of a company feel, and more of a direct connection between my work and the people I photograph.

Every wedding, every family, every couple is a new story. I can't wait to capture yours.
