For our next episode (series two, episode five) of Breed Presents… The Podcast, we’re talking to the photographer and film-maker – Cat Garcia.
Cat’s creative life really got underway when she studied Graphic Design at the University of Brighton. On graduating, she moved to London, where she spent a few years as a designer and in-house photographer at a Soho creative agency. Having established herself, she decided to focus entirely on photography and went freelance.
Usually, but not always, choosing to work in black and white, and using natural light, Cat uses images to tell stories without pretension. Everything is stripped back, simple and real.
Cat also works with moving image, where she’s often accompanied by husband Carlos Garcia, a professional songwriter and musician, who provides evocative soundtracks to her visuals.
In all her work, Cat tells intimate, positive stories, focusing in on the little details of life to provide that genuine sense of empathy.
Among many others in recent years, Cat has worked with Tate Britain, Soho House, MATCHESFASHION.com, Leica, Hole & Corner, MR PORTER, and the V&A, and made films for Hauser & Wirth, Frescobol Carioca, and Sunspel with David Shrigley.
Special thanks to Make Hauser & Wirth and Sunspel for giving us permission to use the music Carlos created for them.
