Kate Harold is a fine art photographer whose work explores liminal, psychologically charged spaces where memory, place, and perception quietly blur. She is drawn to environments that feel familiar yet unsettled — ordinary interiors, transient locations, and overlooked moments that carry an undercurrent of the uncanny.

Through careful composition and color, her photographs transform routine spaces into dreamlike scenes, inviting viewers to linger in the tension between recognition and disorientation. Her work often suggests a narrative without fully revealing it, allowing ambiguity to become a central emotional force.

Kate’s work has been exhibited at Miami Art Week, and she is a Bronze Award recipient of the FotoSlovo Awards, with selected work exhibited in the South of France. She is currently developing new projects and workshops centered on cultivating visual intuition and photographic voice. Harold currently lives and works between Washington, D.C., and Charles Town, West Virginia, but frequently travels internationally.
