Natalie Fobes
Natalie was a finalist for the Alicia Patterson Fellowship this year. As a former fellow, consideration for a second grant is a unique honor.
Her on-going documentary project is on China's one-child policy and how it affects people in that country as well as the United States. It is a story close to her heart as both of her children were born in China.
In April, she gave a major presentation, The Elements of the Photo Story, at the WPPI conference, and in November she will be on a Microsoft sponsored panel at PhotoPlus Expo. The topic will be how photography can affect social change.
