Personality

Quotes from others about the person

• Hugh Edwards: "One of Enrico Natali's principal talents is an ability to detect the personal and unique which still manages to exist within the most commonplace settings and happenings, and overall the American character is prevalent. He understands fully the worth of those areas that exist between the photographer, the camera, and the subject, and one enjoys the grateful absence of self-expression."
