The Psychology Behind the Portrait
Natural light as a paintbrush.
Small group by design. This is not a conference-style photography class. It is meant to leave room for conversation, observation, and hands-on work.

Help Us Tell the Next Story
Every contribution helps us find, document, and share extraordinary human stories.
Miami Open Call
Miami, we are coming back. The EXTRAordinary People Project Open Call is not a traditional casting call and you do not need to be a model, public figure, or professional storyteller. We are looking for people. People who have lived through something. People who changed direction, started again, survived something quietly, built something unexpected, or simply have a story that deserves to be heard. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what to say. Sometimes the portrait comes first and the story finds its way afterward. Selected participants will be photographed by EPP founder and photographer Natalia Keele and may be considered for future EPP editorial stories, interviews, exhibitions, documentary episodes, and project features.
An Evening with Extraordinary People
The private premiere and screening of the first EXTRAordinary People Project documentary episode, featuring David Lee Windecher. The evening introduced the project to an invited audience and marked the debut of Episode One — the foundation of everything that follows.
Open Call — Atlanta
An open call for anyone with a story that belongs in this project. Come in, sit down, and tell us who you are.
