“A remote shoot with Katy is like inviting an old friend over”

— Krystallin, North Carolina USA

Wanna invite me over?

Here’s everything you’ll need for your remote shoot:

  1. Your phone 📱

  2. Download the free Clos app

  3. A phone tripod, or a DIY one! (Use a can of beans and a hair tie, place your phone in between, get a stack of books and a chair for height - time to get creative!)

  4. Window light

  5. Internet connection

  6. An open mind! Remote shoots feel a bit strange at first, but if you’re willing to give something new a go, I promise we’ll have fun!

“I’m one of those people who doesn’t know what to do with my face when there’s a camera in front of it…

The unexpected magic of this remote shoot is that it felt like there was no camera in the room, and what came out of the shoot was rare – photos that I love and that truly feel like me.

I so recommend a remote shoot with Katy.

It’ll be cosy, hilarious, and wonderfully affirming.”

Fancy a quick chat first?

I get it - remote shoots can be tricky to wrap your head around!

Let’s have a free 15-minute video chat to talk about how it works, and you can ask me anything, with no pressure to book a shoot.

“I was so surprised with what we created with it being a remote shoot!

It’s always so hard to see myself because I’m so critical of myself. However, Katy captured my natural energy and I felt so confident

I was nervous but I truly trusted the process. Katy made it simple and was so kind and fun to work with.

 FAQs

  • It all happens via an app.

    We’ll be having a video call for an hour, I’ll just be able to access your camera through the settings of the app! I’ll be able to control the exposure, set the focus; all the stuff you’re able to do on your phone camera.

    I’ll then receive all of the photos and I’ll select the best from our shoot, edit them, and upload them to your own private online client gallery for you to view and download.

  • Although I don’t know what phone you have, I can be sure it’ll be more than good enough! I’ve done a virtual shoot with a very old iPhone before and it still produced some lovely photos.

  • That’s fine! I respect your need to have privacy with your photos of your face. Just let me know either before or after your shoot.

  • Three or four spots around your home/space are enough.

    However, I’ve done a shoot against just one wall before; the light was great so that made up for the lack of spots we had to use! Keep in mind that within one room we could have all the spots we need – the change in light in various areas can be enough to help the photos look different.

    Essentially we don’t need a big house for your photos to work well.

  • Firstly, the whole process of a remote shoot is so bizarre that it’s guaranteed to make you laugh; I’m taking photos of you via your phone, miles away from you, and we haven’t even met. All rules and formalities are out the window.

    That aside, I use a handful of prompts and conversation starters to help loosen you up, and to make it all a bit less weird (only a bit. I’m still a voice in your phone).

    The main thing I ask of you is to be open; to be willing to go along with the weirdness, to trust that I know what I’m looking for. A lot of the time it’s the in-between that I’m after; the moment where you laugh at what you just said, the parts where we move from one thing to another.

    Also: I’ll never ask you to laugh. Or smile :) :)

  • Working with Katy was a dream! It was by far the best photo shoot experience I've had.

    I felt so comfortable and at ease, and Katy is an incredibly skilled photographer. These are the photos I've had professionally done where I feel like I actually look like myself!

  • Katy excels at making you feel at ease and capturing you at your core.

    A remote shoot with her is like inviting an old friend over, five stars aren’t enough for this gem of a photographer!

  • Katy was so lovely & reassuring during our remote shoot and made sure we had plenty of time to get the photos we needed.

    I was completely at ease despite it being a surreal process and the photos Katy captured are incredible.

  • My experience with Katy far exceeded my hopes & expectations.

    I'll be honest, I was pretty nervous at first! Katy's personality and down-to-earthness immediately set me at ease. I was able to laugh and have fun during the shoot, and ended up with some photos that really showcased my personality. Not just the laugh-y and smile-y bits either, but also the more serious and deeper sides of me. I highly recommend her work!
