The Cinematography Podcast Episode 50: Natasha Braier, ASC

Natasha Braier is known for her eye-popping, bold visuals and enjoys shooting in an experimental style. She seeks out directors with a strong voice who are willing to take artistic risks such as Nicolas Winding Refn on Neon Demon, Sebastian Lelio on Gloria Bell, and Alma Har'el on the upcoming Honey Boy. Natasha first gained recognition with the film Glue, directed by Alexis Dos Santos, followed by Lucia Puenzo’s Argentinian drama XXY. She also shot The Milk of Sorrow, which was Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign Language Feature in 2010. Natasha believes that working from your gut doesn't necessarily mean improvising in the moment- it's about keeping that channel of communication open inside you. Her most recent film, Honey Boy, is in theaters November 8th.
