This winter Space Gallery St Barth – the place of reference for art on island – presents photographer Nathan Coe, adding him as a new edition to its program and photography offering.
The talented photographer first started to make a name for himself following a major exhi- bition of his Double Exposure series in New York City in 2014. This propelled Coe into the world of fine art photography and cemented his status as one of the leading artists in his field. Coe’s appreciation for the technical side of photography began from a young age, leading him to pursue an honors degree in Photography & Media in Gloucestershire, England. From there he soon moved to Nantucket where he became the Creative Director & Editor for N Magazine and fell in love with photographing the way the light illumi- nated the serene waves, regal lighthouses, and awe-inspiring dunes around the island.

Islands are magical places that not surprisingly have long captivated Nathan's creativity and St Barth is iconic, beautiful and inspiring all at the same time.
“From the moment I first visited the island of Saint Barthelemy, I was completely captivated. Naturally beautiful, seductive, mysterious... St Barth embodies all of the elements I look for when choosing a location to shoot.” - NC.
The list of its universal appeal goes on and on. So, how to capture that essence through a camera? Coe trusted his process and trusted the island and the mystery and serendipity of St Barth played into his hand, giving him permission to capture her grace and he responded with his practiced sleight of lens. The result is this series of images that the gallery launches this fall.
Recognized for his evocative, cinematic beach landscapes, Coe is also known for introducing blithe, human protagonists. The nude female figure — often shown with her back to the camera, as if blissfully unaware of the artist’s presence — representing the innate human connection to nature.

With this new series, Coe hopes to have captured the island’s timeless wonder. The images communicate his classical style of weaving in the enduring beauty of the female form into various mise en scène. With a stunning attention to light and shadows, angles and lines, and compositional perspective, these works leave the viewer wanting more.
The exhibition opens November 18th through early December and the artist’s portfolio and work can be viewed at the gallery through the season. Discover this beautiful latest addition to the gallery’s roster and bathe in the light from Nathan’s lens!.
