about
Katarina Bishop is a Serbian-American photographer and researcher based in Boston, MA. Her work explores the relationship between people and the environment, focusing on conservation, place, and identity. Having grown up between two cultures and traveled extensively, she is fascinated by how landscapes and experiences shape our sense of self.
She holds a BFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology and was recognized in the 2024 Analog Sparks International Film Photography Awards for her project Off-Season. Her travels have taken her across Europe, South America, and Africa, informing her documentary approach and deepening her connection to the places she photographs. Her work has been featured in Forbes and F-Stop Magazine and exhibited in galleries across the U.S. and internationally, including Black Box Gallery (Portland, OR), Hopkins Center for the Arts (Hopkins, MN), and Boomer Gallery (London, England).
Katarina is available for commissions.
