Kate Davies is a photographer who is fascinated by the many avenues of her craft. She learnt a lot of what she knows by breaking down and rebuilding every camera she could find. The result is a photographer with an intimate grasp of the medium and a bold affinity for experiment. She moves effortlessly between the creative and collaborative nature of editorial work; the specific, informative nature of product shoots; the emotive and personal nature of working with animals; the unpredictable and exciting nature of infrared photography. Her approach to a subject, however, is firmly based in the real. She believes that “the shot is not always about you as the photographer – you have to capture the subject’s truth, even if it’s not your own.”
