Kate Schultze is a social documentary and portrait photographer based between Leeds, UK and Berlin, Germany. Her work focuses on the everydayness of being European; which she explores through using portrait, landscape and still life photography. She primarily works with large and medium format which allows her to work in proximity, developing a rapport with her subjects, while supporting a gentle and unobtrusive atmosphere in her images. Coming from an east German family herself, Schultze’s interest is drawn to topics in areas in Europe that have experienced social and economic depression as well as an alienation of the former working class.
