Interview with Kait Robinson
At the ripe age of 24, when most
photographers are still banging on the
door of opportunity, Kait Robinson has
already shot herself into the front row of
Fashion’s rising stars.
In that sense, her shots recall classic films,
pristinely dressed and elegantly mannered
people, with personal struggles that are as
messy as everyone else’s. It’s still fashion,
but that part is woven into something
greater, a story in a shot.
In a genre where too many photographers
bend over backwards to turn people into
wax sculptures, Kait’s photos glow with
emotional life. We get the sense that
these are not just beautiful bodies in
beautiful clothes, but people with conflicts
who are not always in control of the
moment, even if the lighting, set design,
and color pallette are pitch-perfect.
Whether it’s a couple in a car who can’t
look at each other, or a woman toying
anxiously with her bracelet on a motel
bed with a man’s shadow darkening the
wall behind her, these photos always have
something deeper going on than what we
see at the surface.
We interviewed Kait to find out how
she does it.
