Kate Ferguson is a photographer, writer, and filmmaker who has lived and worked in Los Angeles and Mexico City. Her multidisciplinary practice is rooted in an appreciation for the threshold moments where transformation occurs and realities blur. Through lens and word she considers nostalgic liminality, the palpability of place, and decisions that lead to psychological and spiritual evolution, particularly in regard to self-actualization. She favors analog texture and color. Storytelling is central to all areas of work. kate@kateferg.com @KateFerg
