“Kate’s talent for photography surfaced at a young age when she brought her camera on a school trip to Sweden. The local newspaper in her Ukrainian hometown recognised her skill and published her photos. Despite discovering her photographic abilities as a teenager, it wasn’t until 2017 that she expanded her photography and began to explore portraiture. Kate was quick to realise how different shooting people was from her comfort zone of landscapes. This engaging and more demanding form of photography captivated her interest and formed her career. Kate has shot for the Guinness Book of World Records and The Big Issue.” Perfocal
I’m Kate - a portrait photographer working in London.
I grew up in Ukraine, moved to London, and fell in love with the city from the outside which I think gives me a particular way of seeing it.
My work crosses a lot of categories. I shoot for brands that want authentic content, for couples who'd rather forget they're being photographed, for tourists who want to come home with something better than selfies, and for families who want to capture something real rather than staged.
