In Conversation with Katie Levine

Tell us about your background:

I started with an internship at Vogue in their LA offices to post-college graduation, moving to NYC for an apprenticeship under Annie Leibovitz for a year. Since launching on my own, I’ve shot for both national and international magazines such as: Paper Magazine, Flaunt, V Magazine, etc. In February 2018, I appeared as the guest photographer on America’s Next Top Model’s Rupaul x ANTM cross over episode. I was then recognized in Photo District News as their spotlight feature article titled “From Assistant to Professional,” in July 2018. Drew Elliott describes my work as; “fresh, modern and always has a hint of action”. In 2019, I began to work for Kourtney Kardashian doing shots for her lifestyle brand Poosh for a year until LA shutdown in March 2020.

Since the pandemic began, I have created virtual headshots and been working on fine art I call (frompixeltopaint) where I digitally paint over my own images. The virtual headshots have opened a completely new avenue of business for me. I've done over 200 since the pandemic began. I am also moving into photojournalist type wedding photography, which I've grown into a passion.
