About Katherine

My name is Katherine Castro; I studied architecture and photography while living in the Dominican Republic. I returned to Boston in 2008 to continue my studies in photography but began working in film and TV, gaining a love for visual storytelling and invaluable experience on productions of all size and scale. My background, world view and personal experiences have helped shape my ability to tell compelling stories in a beautiful and honest ways. My love for architecture, design and photography lend to my unique style and viewpoint. Constantly learning and challenging myself, I am always looking for new ways to approach old problems and strives to solve new ones in creative ways.
