Kate Whitaker

Based in Cornwall - Working in the south west / London / worldwide.

Tinkering with photography runs in Kate’s family. Starting with her Grandpa and his old Rollieflex TLR followed by her Dad and his Nikon, Kate picked up her first serious camera at the age of 14. The hobby flourished and soon became the main medium of any artwork.

After graduating from the Arts Institute at Bournemouth with a BA (Hons) Photography, Kate lived and worked in London for 14 years shooting for many top editorials, book publishers and commercial clients.

Kate now lives in the wilds of north Cornwall working between the two and travelling where the work takes her. She has a beautiful food studio in her garden in Cornwall flooded with natural light and full to the brim with beautiful props and backgrounds. Her approach is authentic and relaxed thoughtful composition and light paired with a great sensitivity to her subject.

Living by the sea is her greatest inspiration, the ever changing mood of the ocean and skies and the wild ruthlessness of the north coast.

Kate lives with her husband Michael, their two children Johnny and Wren and Badger the dog.

If you would like to view her portfolio and meet in person please don’t hesitate to get in contact.

A few words from the lovely Karen Barns - Editor of Delicious Magazine UK:

"At Delicious Magazine we’re renowned for our photography and we only work with the best food photographers. Kate is one of the people whose work I prize most highly. Her pictures are beautiful, she takes care to understand and deliver on the brief – and she is a joy to work with. In other words, whether it’s a shoot that involves just food, or food and people, I always know Kate will do a great job".
