Catherine Wingfield is a photographer born in Canada from a South Korean father and a Belgian mother. She was raised in Paris, France, and now lives and work in London, United Kingdom.
She studied at The Institute of Political Studies in Paris (Sciences Po). She trained in drawing, painting and sculpture at the Charles Cecil Studio in Florence, Italy, at Central St Martin London and The Heatherley School of Fine Art in London before moving her focus to photography which has since become her preferred medium. This cross disciplinary practice has given her a strong foundation in terms of composition and understanding aesthetics. Catherine has worked under the guidance of acclaimed international photographers including Jane Evelyn Atwood, FLORE, Steve Winter, Mark Edward Harris, Andy Mann and Brett L. Erickson.
Catherine draws her inspiration from her love of the natural world, and she is particularly interested in its transformative healing power. Her photography expresses and is connected to her understanding of how man and nature are one.
An intrepid traveller she engages with scholarly research and literary sources for every project she does. Thanks to this Catherine has developed her own photographic language, often a visual dialogue with existing texts, poems and music. She has exhibited her work in the United Kingdom and France.
