My name is Kata, and I’m a Montreal-based photographer.
I’m on a mission to transcend the ordinary.
I love finding the hidden artistry in a piece of fresh produce or a simple dish, crafting images that tell a story for brands, publishers, and people alike. To me, it’s about bridging the gap between food photography and fine art—finding the elegance, the vibrant colours, and the simplicity in everyday subjects. The beauty really is everywhere, in everything, and in everyone.

My passion for photography really took flight during the 2020 lockdown. I had started a blog to share my favorite Hungarian recipes, but I quickly realized that to do them justice, I needed better images. I haven’t looked back since.
Today, I'm drawn to the quiet beauty in everyday details—the textures and objects that tell a story on their own. I try to capture that feeling and treat every subject like a piece of art.

Beyond the Lens
I grew up in Budapest, spent a few years in Boston, and now call Montreal home. My professional background is quite diverse; I am a medical graduate and spent over a decade running my own business, collaborating with everyone from local startups to multinational corporations.
My path has been unconventional, but the thread throughout has always been a deep curiosity for the details others might overlook. Beyond photography, I’m a fanatic for estate sales, an Art Deco enthusiast, and I love the tactile process of creating my own backdrops.
I love working with brands and publishers who value thoughtful storytelling. My goal is always to find the hidden artistry in every subject and create images that truly stand out.

Aside from my commercial work, you can find a curated collection of stationery and printed goods here.
