Kate Holliday
Photographer / Art Director
Summary
I began my career in fashion at the age of 13 when I started modeling. From the beginning, I was always more interested in what the photographer was doing than actually being in front of the camera. I picked up a camera for the first time at the age of 19 and started photographing still lifes with my grandfather’s Nikkormat 35mm. It wasn’t until I decided to go back to school at age 30 that I decided to pursue photography as a career. I graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2013 and have been working as a fashion and beauty photographer in Tampa, FL. My photography has since spanned to include New York City and makes trips regularly in order to fulfill my clients’ needs in the Northeast.
I have experience as a fashion stylist, make-up artist, as well as art direction and set design.
