My friend Nata is a gifted Photographer. She lives with Scoliosis and a good quality lightweight camera would enhance her life.

Nata is a Cinematic Family Photographer.  I feel there's a real magic to her work as she is able to bring out the authenticity in the subject even if they're unaware of what that is themselves. It's an expression of her passion for people and her passion for art. Capturing a feeling or true essence, for me, that's magical! 

Nata, mother to two beautiful children, lives with Scoliosis. Since the joys and demands of motherhood her spine has become more S shaped. Over the past few months she has returned to her Photography work, but finding it a struggle with her current camera being so heavy and causing her discomfort. She would love to take her camera everywhere with her as it reminds her of who she is, not just mummy but her previous self, her original identity, yet, lugging all the needs of a child and her heavy weight current camera is too much for her. She mentioned to me that she would love a lightweight camera so much but just doesn't have the funds for it right now, so, I thought id help her along a little in her manifestation...

The camera costs £1599. I have calculated the platform fees and transactions fees and have added an extra hundred to cover these. 

To anyone that doesn't know Nata, she is a wonderful person, so positive, giving, and compassionate. She goes above and beyond for anyone and in the little time I've known her she has gifted me many toys and clothes for my children knowing my own challenges as a single parent. She is so passionate about photography and her love for people, families, and community is reflected in her images as she seems to bring out the uniqueness in them and capture it all. I would love for everyone to come together and support her and her gift of photography. The gift of this camera really will enhance her life and enable her to continue her remarkable life's work.

Here's some of her creations for you to enjoy:
