Untitled, Laugarvatn, Iceland #025 (40x30") Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Kathryn Allen Hurni discovered her passion for photography at age 13, a path that led her to New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she earned a B.F.A. in Photography in 2006. Her practice began with traditional film photography, working in both color and black and white. While she has photographed in formats such as 35mm and 4x5, she favors medium format. Now using both film and digital mediums, Kathryn approaches each project with meticulous care, especially in her printing process, to preserve the detail and depth in her work. Her photography has been exhibited at institutions like Aperture Gallery, Manifest Gallery, and The Center for Fine Art Photography. In 2015, Kathryn held her first solo show at Penn State University, followed by a second solo exhibition at EPSY Gallery in Wales, UK, in 2018. Most recently, she attended the NES Artist Residency in Iceland, where she developed a series of abstracted, painterly landscapes inspired by the dramatic Icelandic scenery. Additionally, Kathryn’s work has appeared in publications including T Magazine, DETAILS, WSJ, and W Magazine. She currently divides her time between her fine art practice and commercial work as a freelance documentary photographer, continually exploring the boundaries between artistic and documentary storytelling.
