Katie Burdon is a 22 year old British photographer currently based in London. Hailing from Cornwall UK, Katie’s work explores and celebrates the natural form and human body through focus on the female gaze. Through juxtaposition of colour and storytelling with surreal undertones, she aims to bring curiosity and observance to her vision. Katie aims to challenge fashion’s obsession with perfection, or rather, what is perceived as perfect within the industry.
Publications include Vogue Italia, Wonderland, Rollacoaster and British Journal Of Photography.

The body weaves through the environmen
- Two Figures In A Room X Vogue ItaliaFor Vogue Italia , Two Figures In A Room is a study of lover’s intimate moments within their bedrooms. A bedroom is a deeply personal sanctuary for each of us that distorts into different purposes alongside our emotions - we sleep there, we cry there, we feel most lonely there, we fuck there, we dream there, we tell secrets there. Two Figures In A Room presents two lovers - their bodies are different, but together they could almost be one figure. Together their bodies turn into a beautiful mess
