42 Branded has announced the latest addition to its talented roster: Katie Burdon, a visionary director-photographer whose work redefines the artistry of visual storytelling. With roots in Cornwall and now based in London, Katie brings a fresh perspective and an unwavering focus on the female gaze that resonates deeply within her photography and film.

Katie’s artistic voice is characterised by a profound sense of intimacy, celebrating the human condition in all its diverse forms. Her unique style merges striking colour palettes with compelling narratives, often infused with surreal undertones that invite curiosity and introspection. By exploring the intricacies of emotion and experience, she crafts visually captivating stories that engage and inspire audiences.

“We are excited to have Katie join the 42 Branded family signed to both 42 Branded and our renowned photographer’s Agency Probation,” said Clancie Brennan, managing director at 42 Branded. “Her dedication to highlighting the female perspective and her innovative approach to visual storytelling aligns perfectly with our mission to create compelling content that resonates on many levels.
