My name is Katie West. I use my camera to lessen the need for therapy..

The possibility to continually redefine one’s self is the primary motivation in my photography. My photography acts as therapy, and as such, continually reflects my self-exploration in an intimate, often vulnerable fashion. My photography can just as easily express explicit sexuality as it can intense loneliness. The presence of these and other themes in my work are not only personally relevant, but are also able to capture something I believe most people can identify with. My goal is to create an image that can be appreciated as both a great photograph but also as a moment in time that is recognized in the lives of those who view it.

Also, I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I have a degree in English. I am still figuring out what I want to do with my life. I have: four cats, Ana, Hailey, Logan and Bruce; one soon-to-be-husband, Matt; and one best friend and business partner, Shannon.

I like sunny days, Star Trek, comic books, grocery shopping at 2 am, The Cure, watching movies, monochromatic colour schemes, Canadian comedic television shows, Bruce Springsteen, road trips, sci-fi, space, The Food Network, and antique shopping.

If you have any questions concerning what I do, or you want to work with me, or you want to show me something neat, you should contact me.


Me and Bruce.
