Nathalie Daoust was born in Montreal, where she studied photography at
the Cegep du Vieux-Montreal and trained to the 3d technique.
In her first solo exhibition at the Usine C of Montreal, in 1999, she
presented a series of photographs taken at the Carlton Arms Hotel in New
York, which were published in 2002, in her book entitled “New York Hotel
Story”. She has since participated in several solo and group exhibitions
in Canada, the United States, England, Spain and Tokyo. Her photographs
have been the subject of many publications and were awarded several prizes.
The photo documentary Tokyo Pin Up Girls captures the
exceptional living beauty of fifty young girls from all over the world,
united in Japan to perform striptease. To interpret the bizarre reality
of multicultural striptease, Nathalie Daoust combines her sense of peculiar
aesthetic and Lenticular technology to permit the animation of the image.
