ABOUT
Katalin Száraz is a Hungarian fine art photographer, based in Paris. She is mainly specialised in portrait and fashion photography, besides she put big emphasis on her own art projects too.
Kata loves to experiment at the border areas of photography. Her works are thematically focused on memories, the issue of home through personal storytelling and the creation of fictional realities. Her approach encompasses creating cinematographic staged photography, working with archaic techniques, but building installations as well – depending what is the best tool to express herself, and what it takes to create the demanded atmosphere.
Száraz’s photographs have been widely published and exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Milan, Budapest, Berlin, Gothenburg, Bratislava and Vienna.
Katalin graduated with a master’s in photography at the Moholy Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest and spent six months in the photography department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
