Kate’s photographer parents brought her up with a love of photography; her childhood memories of dark rooms, red lights, and chemical smells have not faded. She studied English and Modern Languages and has taught in schools and colleges in the UK, Germany and Belgium. Kate later undertook an MA in Education and a Law degree, after which she spent several years as an advice centre volunteer, and running private and pro bono photography workshops.
Wishing to bring all her interests together under a photographic umbrella, Kate recently completed a Master of Arts in Photography at Falmouth University. Her work touches on themes of family history, memory and forgetting; it combines archival, documentary and landscape imagery. Kate is also interested in the power of photography as a therapeutic tool.
Kate’s photographic work has been exhibited in the UK and the USA and has featured in various print and online publications.
