about
Katarina Bishop is a Serbian/American photographer based in Boston, MA. Her work explores the interactions of humans and the environment, conservation, and sense of place. Growing up with a foot in two distinct cultures, she has always been fascinated by how our surroundings and experiences shape our identity. She holds a BFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology. She received two awards in the 2024 Analog Sparks International Film Photography Awards for her project Off-Season. Her images have been featured in Forbes, and F-Stop Magazine, and exhibited domestically and internationally in galleries such as Black Box Gallery in Portland, OR, Hopkins Center for the Arts in Hopkins, MN, and Boomer Gallery in London, England.
