London-based photographer Kate Steele realized the importance of phototherapy in finding peace with herself.The method is quite simple, you take the camera, you direct it with the lens towards the chosen subject and you take the picture, so that you can remember an image forever, or you can analyze it, understand it more deeply. Kate Steele once held the camera, tried to turn the lens not towards the outside but to herself, in order to self-analyze and understand more deeply.
The photos that follow are part of the project Her Name is Kat, the story of a friendship between Kat and Kate, with the former able to make the latter rediscover the power of her fragilities. The inner search starts by accepting her own naked body, a map where find the signs of her own life experiences and traumas, that have contaminated the happiness, in order to found it again.
Kate Steele’s photography is phototerapia, shoot in black and white with a grain that makes the artist’s vision of herself rough, a vision yet to be defined and smoothed, always looking at the lens and not through.
