Photographer Katherine Scherer strives to create a visual narrative that is personal and compelling and that successfully communicates her interpretation of the environment in which she has experienced. She is drawn to recording people in their chosen recreational environments that reveal their personalities through exhibition and display.

“I strive to communicate the experience in an original way, hopefully resulting in a compelling portrait, that exhibits its own truth and its own beauty… and above all, that portrays a celebration of the individual and the moment.” - Katherine Scherer
