As a creative, my personal style captures realism: I am a strong believer in the beauty of natural skin tones and real bodies. With an ethos of diversity and authenticity, I aim to empower my models as well as the viewers who consume my imagery.
My main passions lie within streetwear, casual apparel and lingerie. I believe my photography has a commercial edge and I am recognisable for “capturing characters”, as described by Gary Wallis. As a graduate, I aim to continue spreading empowerment throughout my work and am excited to collaborate with creatives and brands who hold aligning values.
INSPIRATION
Being raised by a resilient and powerful woman is undoubtably my biggest inspiration. To be taught of acceptance and confidence within oneself whilst growing up was a huge privilege. It is this self-love and empowerment that I carry within myself and my work and hope to spread amongst many others.

DETAIL
The highlight of completing my degree within fashion photography was creating my final major project: ‘Naked Feminism’. Naked Feminism is a fashion film anthology, consisting of six chapters. Each chapter takes inspiration from an individual goddess, depicting their essence in a modern light, associated with female empowerment. Portraying an abstract narrative, this project is a journey that begins with “Acceptance” and ends with “Death of the Ego”. Using a range of soundscape, each film is unique and hopes to immerse the viewer in a space where women are safe and seen. This series is available to view on my website: www.katiedaviesphotography.com/videography
