Photographer: Nataliya Lashchuk

Nataliya Igorevna Lashchuk (pseudonym – Nataly Lachik) is one of the neurophotographers of St. Petersburg. Born on April 1, 1976 in St. Petersburg, Russia, in the family of a teacher of history and a philosopher. Nataliya's grandfather was a non-professional artist who created historical paintings. Throughout her life, Natalia has chosen such fields of professional life as working at schools and universities, and has established herself as a researcher and candidate of pedagogical Sciences. Has experience working in the Legislative Assembley of Saint-Petersburg.
All her life, Nataliya Igorevna has been striving to find something to do. In 2023, Nataliya's mother dies from the effects of coronavirus, Nataliya's legs fail from nervous shock, and she becomes practically disabled. Instead of being active, she is waiting for long days and nights in one of the apartments in the city, where only her husband becomes her support. The previous types of professional activity become inaccessible to her.
With the advent and development of neural networks and the abundance of free time now, Nataliya is essentially becoming self-taught, having found a vocation in generating images and videos using AI and gradually coming to create portrait art through artificial intelligence. He is the creator of the modern trend of surrealism in the field of neurofotography, jokingly calling this direction "White".
You can find her work on Pinterest under the pseudonym Nataly Lachik.
