I thought I’d share some photos I never posted publicly. They were taken in 2006, shortly after I bought my first DSLR.
I worked for several weeks with a fashion design student in studio and on location to photograph her graduation collection, as well as several other pieces she designed throughout her studies. End result: she had a great collection of photos with which to show off her work and I completed another unit in my graphic design degree. It was the BEST fun with a camera I’d ever had (at the time) and I dreamt about being a fashion photographer for months afterwards.
This was also my first real delve into post processing. I had never heard of actions and didn’t know what RAW was! It’s nice to revisit these two years on and still be pleased with them.
The designer was the very cool and clever Caroline Christie. These photographs show two amazing dresses that could be converted into several different styles. The models are friends of mine, who aren’t really models but did an awesome job pretending! They are also modelling Katherine Rose jewellery (my label).

Jen Stocks - Katie – these are beautiful. So happy you shared them. Not bad for just picking up the camera (awesome in fact) and gorgeous outfits.
kat - Thank you everyone.
I feel like I should clarify – I wasn’t ‘just starting out’ as such, but I was new to digital photography. Had been learning on film for a few years prior to going digital.
