Natasja Claessens

My name is Natasja Claessens, I was born in Utrecht and live in NIeuwegein. All my life I grew up between the dogs and the horses so I have a great attraction to these animals. Since I was a 6-year-old girl I was drawing all day long and taking pictures of everything to make my own teenage magazine. In Utrecht I studied at the School for Graphic Arts with photography as an extra subject. After my studies I worked for publishers and advertising agencies, until I decided to work independently as Studio Claes in 1995. Over the years my work as a designer has expanded more and more to include photography. The one often cannot exist without the other.
