Kat Kaye is a Los Angeles based fine art photographer who also works across fashion and documentary photography, serving a diverse range of editorial, corporate, and commercial clients.

What you can expect from me?

• Emotionally Driven Photography
  I believe so many of our actions are motivated by unconscious emotions, and when those are brought to the surface, something real emerges. I work instinctively with my subjects to create an environment that helps reveal who people genuinely are.

• Rigorous Formal Training
  I'm a graduate of Art Center College of Design and the University of California, San Diego, with training in darkroom processes in both color and black and white printing, as well as digital design. My dual education allows me to construct a compelling narrative and execute it with precisely the right techniques.

• Broad Editorial and Commercial Experience
  My client list spans NPR, VICE, Amazon, Callaway Golf, and HYPEBAE, among many others. My work has been featured in Communication Arts, Rogue Magazine, Fantastics Magazine, and exhibited at the Annenberg Space for Photography.

• Direct Yet Compassionate Communication
  As an introvert who genuinely loves people, I bring warmth and care to every collaboration. I believe in clear, compassionate communication that puts subjects at ease and results in imagery that feels authentic rather than staged.
