Overview
My name is Katie Hayward and I am a freelance photographer. I graduated from university in 2018 with a 2:1 on Photography and since then, have been working on a self-employed basis taking on briefs for businesses as well as doing some work for agencies and small publishers. The majority of work tends to be within food and hospitality, but I have taken on a wide variety of other briefs ranging from medical procedures in Harley Street, business headshots, environmental portraiture, general BTS documenting of business activities, events and beyond. I am flexible in my approach, and very much enjoy the constant process of learning and honing my skills and am always keen to add to my skillset.
​
Prior to going to university to study photography, I spent many years working in corporate finance departments which gave me an excellent foundation of business-related skills and administrative expertise. I am a highly organised person with prolific attention to detail which serves me well in my more creative pursuits. I am used to working at a fast pace and under pressure with time constraints.
​
I am looking to diversify my photographic career and would like to become more involved in peripheral areas such as assisting. My main priority is to be part of a wider team and to make a contribution to its overall success. Whilst I enjoy doing my own commercial work, it can be incredibly solitary which is not well suited to my outgoing and social personality.
