Nathan Gentry is a visual artist and writer who primarily works with the photographic medium and is interested in highlighting the relationship humans have between each other, as well as their relationship with the world in which they live. Seeking to document the coexistence of humans upon the spaces they utilize and commune, and how we as humans use and abuse these spaces is a common focus in Nathan's work. His work often requires experimentation and manipulation in order to create the communicative experience that is often personified in real life.

In 2016, Nathan earned his Bachelor's degree in Electronic Media with a minor in Photography from Texas State. After graduating, he moved to Pittsburgh, where he completed a dual Master's degree in Media Communications and Documentary Specialization. Following his studies, Nathan relocated to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he continues to explore and develop new photographic techniques. He is currently pursuing an additional Master's degree in Museum Studies from Arizona State.

​Nathan has showcased his work extensively throughout his home state of Texas and has also presented in various other states across the U.S. In recent years, his work has gained international recognition, leading to exhibitions in countries worldwide. Notably, he has been selected to exhibit in Germany, Belgium, Greece, the UK, and Italy. Several of Nathan's projects, including A.D.D., Fragments & Streaks, Our Planet, and A Vision for Unspoken Words, have earned him awards from galleries across the country. These accolades have also given him opportunities to tour the U.S. and deliver lectures on his work. Currently, Nathan is working on his third book, focusing on street photography captured during his years of travel.

All of Nathan's work is available for purchase. For prints, contact Nathan Gentry.
