Catherine Wingfield’s photography is an act of attention. Drawn to the natural world as a source of healing and spiritual wisdom, she makes images that ask us to slow down — to look, and to listen.
Born in Canada to a South Korean father and a Belgian mother, and raised in Paris, Wingfield brings a naturally cross-cultural perspective to her work. She studied at the Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) before training in drawing, painting and sculpture at the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy, Central Saint Martins and The Heatherley School of Fine Art in London. This foundation in the visual arts — in composition, form and the discipline of looking — shapes everything she photographs.
She has also studied with international photographers such as Jane Evelyn Atwood, FLORE, Steve Winter and Mark Edward Harris.
Each series emerges from literary, historical and philosophical research: a visual dialogue with texts, poems, music and the landscapes that inspired them. For Wingfield, photography is not documentation but conversation — between the human and the elemental, the seen and the felt. Her work has been exhibited in the United Kingdom and France.
Based in London, she pursues long-term photographic projects around the world.
