<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Katrine Moite. I’m originally from Ukraine, but now I take photos in the heart of New York City from my spot in Manhattan. Here’s how it all started. I didn’t know much about photography at the time. My first camera? Got it in the United States. I started with just a camera, two lenses, and a few free shots. I asked my neighbor if I could take pictures of her and her baby. That’s where it all started\u2014a mix of weddings, family photos, love stories, sports, portraits, and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, out of the blue, I went into food photography. I messaged a few bars and a coffee shop on Instagram, offering my skills for free, and they said yes. That’s how I got into food pics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the COVID-19 mess, I had a lot of time in quarantine to think about my career. I had some gear, passion, and determination, so I thought, why not my place? I took a chance and got my first studio in Midtown Manhattan. It was small, but it was mine. I started with photography as my main thing. I also took maternity shots with my pregnant neighbor, just to try them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going from no studio shoots to being fully booked wasn\u2019t easy. For months, I had zero studio gigs. I did outdoor shooting and restaurant work to pay the rent. But with every click of the camera and every free shot, my portfolio grew. It took time, but things started happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I’m in my third, bigger studio, and guess what? I’m still longing for more. Every time I click on my camera, it\u2019s like adding a new chapter to my journey. It’s a story of chasing dreams, facing challenges, and keeping creativity going, and it’s far from over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I graduated from the School of Photography in Kyiv, where I gained a basic understanding of photography. As for food photography, I delved into it independently through various online platforms like YouTube, Udemy, and books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. What do you hope to achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My ambition is to shed light on the ongoing war in Ukraine through my project entitled “I Don’t Have My Home Anymore,” a documentary that captures the stark reality of this conflict. This project includes a photography section, 15 interviews, and a documentary film. My primary goal is to ensure that this documentary reaches a wide audience, serving as a poignant reminder of the human toll and devastation caused by this enduring war. By sharing these 15 stories of Ukrainian women who left their lives behind and came to the United States, I aim to inspire empathy and understanding for those affected by the conflict, striving to make their voices heard on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m using Canon R5, just switched this year from 5D Mark IV. Lenses: 100 mm, 50 mm, 24-70 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
