Kat N.

Chicago

Fujifilm x-t5

I have been doing photography for as long as I can remember. When I was 10 years old, my father gifted me my first camera, a lime green FujiFilm point-and-shoot, which I took everywhere with me. Now, with an unwavering passion, I strive to capture the beauty of the outdoors and the natural world that surrounds us—nature's breathtaking landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and captivating wildlife fuel my creative spirit. Through my lens, I aim to preserve these awe-inspiring moments and share them with the world. In addition to the wonders of nature, I am equally fascinated by the beauty of human beings. I believe every individual carries a unique essence that deserves to be celebrated and immortalized in photographs. I seek to capture the genuine emotions, connections, and stories that define us as human beings. Through my photography, I endeavor to create art that encapsulates both the stunning allure of the natural world and the inherent beauty within humanity. I am driven by the belief that these images can inspire a deeper appreciation for all life's interconnectedness and motivate others to safeguard the precious gift of nature we have been entrusted with.

How did you get started with photography

I got started with photography while taking a 35mm black and white photography class while in high school. I fell in love with the art and it has been my passion every since. I am always taking pictures of anything and everything that catches my eye.

What do you love about your job?

I love the storytelling photographs can have. As I work in all forms of photography I can take the ugliest landscape and make it gorgeous. My clients are the best because many have never had a photo shoot before and after they always say "that was easy and fun." then after they get their photos their expression on their face is always a heart filled moment to see their smile.

What are some of your favorite places in Chicago to take photographs?

I shoot all over the city of Chicago but my favorite will have to be around the lake and river walk. I also have a secret spot in the city that I like to photograph in where I get urban, landscape, architect and river.
