KAT REDKIND
In a world of fleeting content, I create what lasts
Most photography today is about performance, the perfect pose, the flawless filter, the instant post. My work is about presence. It’s about the quiet, unfiltered moments that happen when you forget you’re being photographed and simply arrive as yourself.
I shoot exclusively on film. This isn’t for nostalgia; it’s a deliberate choice to slow down, to pay attention, and to create something tangible and timeless. Each frame is a decision, resulting in portraits that feel less like images and more like unearthed memories.
This is an invitation to be seen, not just captured. For the traveler, the couple, the artist, and the soulful brand ready for a portrait that holds the weight of a real moment.

The Creative Process
My approach is collaborative, intentional, and designed to create an experience that is as memorable as the final portraits.
Here is a look at our journey together.
1. The Connection Call
Our collaboration begins with a complimentary consultation call. This is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss your vision, and ensure our creative sensibilities are a perfect match. I’ll answer all your questions, and we’ll begin to dream up what your session could look like.
2. Creative Direction & Planning
Once you’re ready to move forward, I will develop a bespoke creative direction for our session. This includes a custom mood-board, thoughtful location scouting, and guidance on wardrobe to ensure every element is cohesive and true to you. We’ll refine this vision together, making sure you feel completely aligned and excited.
3. The Analogue Session
On the day of our shoot, my focus is on creating a relaxed, intuitive atmosphere. We’ll follow our creative plan but always leave space for the spontaneous, honest moments in between. This isn’t about rigid posing; it’s about creating an environment where you can be fully present.
4. Your Private Gallery
Within three weeks of our session, you will receive a private online gallery containing your collection of hand-selected, artfully processed film portraits. These are your memories, immortalized in grain and light, ready to be downloaded, shared, and treasured for a lifetime.
FAQ
-
Film requires a slower, more intentional process. It forces us to connect with the moment rather than a screen. The result is more than just an image; it’s a tangible piece of art with a depth, texture, and emotional quality that digital cannot replicate. It’s not for convenience; it’s for connection.
-
Depending on your session, you will receive a curated gallery of 25-40 high-resolution film scans. These are delivered to you via a private online gallery within three weeks, depending on lab processing times. Fine art prints and albums are available as an add-on.
-
My editing philosophy is to enhance, not erase. I select the strongest frames from our session and then work on the digital scan to adjust tone and contrast, ensuring the final image is a beautiful and authentic representation of the moment. Skin looks like skin, and the feeling remains true.
-
It begins when you reach out via the contact form. We’ll schedule a brief connection call to ensure we’re a perfect creative fit. To secure your date, I require a signed agreement and a 50% non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is due on the day of our session.
-
The 50% deposit is non-refundable as it reserves your date in my calendar. However, if you provide at least 48 hours' notice, we can reschedule your session to a new, mutually available date at no extra cost.
-
Paris is beautiful in all weather, and rain can add a wonderfully cinematic mood to photos. However, if conditions are truly extreme (such as high winds or thunderstorms), we will reschedule for our collective safety and comfort at no additional charge.
-
Creative direction is part of the experience. Based on our connection call, I will suggest locations that fit your story—from iconic landmarks to hidden local gems. I also provide wardrobe guidance to ensure your outfits feel authentic and photograph beautifully. For more in-depth support, professional styling is available as an add-on.
-
Absolutely. My goal is to connect, not direct. You don’t need any experience or to know how to “pose.” I provide gentle, intuitive guidance to help you feel grounded and present, so we can capture the honest moments that happen when you forget you’re in front of a camera.
-
Yes. I love capturing the magic of surprise proposals and the energy of small, intimate gatherings like artist-led events or brand launches. For groups larger than four, please reach out for a custom quote so we can design the perfect session.
