Stylist-turned-photographer Katie Burnett is a New York-based creative whose work moves fluidly between fashion imagery, art direction, and photography. After studying studio art in the United States and continuing her education at the Istituto Marangoni in London, she began her career in fashion. Her portfolio includes collaborations with photographers such as Collier Schorr and Harley Weir, as well as campaigns for brands like Byredo, including the “Mojave Ghost” campaign in 2024.
In her styling practice, Burnett draws on a wide range of references, from mid-century photography to contemporary art and design. She began experimenting behind the camera during the lockdown period, producing a self-portrait photo book titled Cabin Fever (2021) and later I Wash You Dry (2022), both exploring humor, identity, and intimacy through a personal and unconventional lens.
Her recent work continues to balance commercial and experimental projects. In 2024 she styled Byredo’s Kantha Blueprint Bag campaign and contributed to high-profile editorial and runway collaborations. With a background grounded in art and an approach driven by curiosity, Burnett has become one of the most distinct creative voices in modern fashion styling and photography.
