Mallory Kates,
Photographer
I spent much of my professional life on the other side of the camera, writing and directing multi-media projects for corporate clients like Apple Computer, Rockwell International, Visa, the US military and dozens in between.
When I was free to choose what I do for a living, I turned to my first creative love. Making photographs.
A mentorship with Kirsten Lewis led me to become a pretty good documentary family photographer. When Covid put that world on pause, I looked to my early photography heroes...Duane Michals, Jerry Ulsemann and Robert Heinecken for inspiration, and Susan Burnstine for contemporary guidance.
Now I study with Sharon Tenenbaum and try to follow the photographer's dictum to photograph not what it looks like, but what it feels like.
I still accept two family projects per year. This year is full, but 2025 is open.
My prints are in several private collections. Contact me for details.
