Photography
Photography is a natural extension of my design practice.
I photograph brands, interiors, artworks and events with a calm, considered approach. My work prioritises composition, light and authenticity — creating imagery that feels aligned with the wider brand narrative.
What I Do
Brand Photography
Imagery that supports your visual identity.
Portraits
Team imagery
Products in context
Studio and workplace documentation
Website and campaign imagery
My design background allows me to shoot with layout, cropping and digital application in mind.
Spatial Photography
Documenting thoughtfully designed spaces.
Hospitality
Retail
Galleries
Studios
Architectural interiors
I focus on atmosphere, materiality and the experience of being within the space.
Art & Installation Documentation
Working alongside artists and exhibitions, I photograph:
Artworks
Installations
Exhibition environments
Creative processes
The aim is respectful, accurate and visually compelling documentation.
Events
Quietly observed, naturally captured.
Creative events
Exhibitions
Launches
Community gatherings
The emphasis is on genuine interaction and atmosphere rather than staged imagery.
How I Work
I work collaboratively and strategically, ensuring design decisions are grounded in purpose. I value clarity, calm visual language, and systems that endure.
Kind words
"We have worked with Catherine from Wonderbird on 2 occasions now for a new product photo shoot and a subsequent lifestyle shoot with the product and clients. Both times have been an absolute delight. Not only does Catherine bring a beautiful warmth, but her attention to detail, direction in the shoot, preparation and quick turn around make it so easy to work with her. Her ability to capture our product the way we want it seen was spot on. Would highly recommend Catherine and her incredible work. 10/10. Lorissa, Co-Founder, Workplace Rituals Deck."

We can't imagine working with anyone else!"
