Katerina Down Photography and Design

My name is Katerina Down. Based in Brisbane I am a keen photographer and graphic designer. I have been extending my skills extensively since studying a Certificate IV and now a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Design.

In 2008 I undertook Project 365, which is a photography project where the participant takes a photo every day for 365 days, or one full year. I chose to take two photos a day, one of myself and an image of something else I saw each day.

Completing this has been an awakening experience, each photo has not only allowed me to look back on how I have changed physically but also how different I have felt emotionally each day. The other photos were just as interesting, especially to take, as it made me look for the smaller things. Objects, themes and subjects that I previously overlooked.

For many years I have been interested in the way that different weather conditions affect our emotions. It intrigues me how different we feel between one day and the next when most aspects of our life are the same day to day. What is it that makes us okay about a situation one day but not the next? I believe that the weather and our environment are key factors.

I am very interested in sky photography especially shots that allow the viewer to take a closer look and see it as more then just an unexceptional backdrop.

I attempt to take shots of other subjects that increase this awareness of the backdrops of our lives.

I can customize all of my images for you. If you don’t like generic, cookie-cutter artwork, if you’re working on a project and need specific kinds of images, or if you’re looking for an image which complements a certain color or design scheme, let me know and I will work with you to provide unique and beautiful artwork based on your vision. I have many more photos which are not publicly viewable. Please email me at kdownphotogarphy[at]gmail.com if you would like to discuss customized artwork, or if you have an idea you’d like to see captured.
