Photographer's Profile

Katrine Moite

Moite Production, United States

Born in Ukraine and graduating from law school there, I, Katrine Moite, have traversed continents to call NYC my home. In the bustling heart of Manhattan, I've established my own photo studio, focusing primarily on capturing the timeless essence of maternity and motherhood. My journey into the world of photography began with humble origins. Armed with little more than a camera, two lenses, and a handful of free shoots. Amidst the challenges posed by the COVID pandemic, I took a leap of faith and ventured into studio ownership, carving out a space for myself in the concrete jungle of Midtown Manhattan. My dedication to photography has not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by the accolades bestowed upon me. In 2023, my work received Honorable Mention in the Minimalist Photography Awards, Bronze in the ReFocus Photography Awards, and Bronze (3rd Place) in the ND Awards. Additionally, I was honored with Silver in the New York Photography Awards not once, but twice, and achieved the pinnacle of success with a Gold award in the same competition. Furthermore, my work earned recognition at the European Photography Awards, where I was awarded Platinum for my exceptional contributions. These achievements are a testament to my commitment to excellence and my relentless pursuit of artistic mastery. Each award represents a milestone in my journey as a photographer, fueling my passion and driving me to push the boundaries of creativity. In addition to my accolades, ELLE Ukraine featured a personal interview with me, providing insight into my journey, inspirations, and aspirations as a photographer as well as my Documentary "I Don't have my home anymore...", dedicated to the stories of 15 Ukrainian women who left their homes and flee from the war to United States left everything behind. In the realm of film, my work has been recognized as a Finalist in prestigious awards like the Oniros Film Award New York and the New York International Film Award, Winner of New York Independent Cinema Awards, and a nomination at the Berlin Woman Cinema Festival.
