About

Katrina Campbell is a London-based documentary and portrait photographer interested in themes of resilience, community and the human relationship with the natural world. Her practice often involves engagement with local communities, focusing on women who challenge traditional conventions. Katrina’s recent work Why We Swim focuses on women who swim year-round in open water.

Inspired by the writing of ecofeminist Donna Haraway, to make kin with the more-than-human, Katrina’s photobook Pull me close so I can hear you focuses on the reciprocal relationship between people and plants. The work explores the transformative impact of connecting with nature via community work in the city’s gardens, farms and allotments, while drawing attention to the precarity of these precious ecosystems of people and plants. 

An experienced portrait photographer, Katrina builds trusting relationships, working to create imagery with people over time. Her practice reveals unexpected beauty in the ordinary everyday. Through her lyrical visual aesthetic, she shares a glimpse of the emotions and hidden lives of those she photographs.

She is currently studying for an MA in photojournalism & documentary photography at the University of Arts London.
