I’m Katy, an established UK based photographer and videographer, but currently working full time as Creative Lead at Big Purple Capture, part of the Big Purple Group, based in the North East.
Previously, I was working on esports and gaming events. My love for esports began when I volunteered for my first event, Insomnia 57 in the UK in 2016. After experiencing the passion and dedication, and being a gamer myself with photography already a big part of my life, it clicked together. I actively searched for opportunities in which I could expand my portfolio, in the hopes to turn a dream into a career. 7 years on, I have travelled to many different countries, places I never thought I would see, working different events and meeting amazing people.
I am proud to say I have had the opportunity to work with some of the best companies in the industry such as ESL, Riot Games, EGL, ESPAT, BELONG, epic.LAN, Right Formula and many others. I have enjoyed capturing moments not just for events, but for the players and the fans, and especially to show how the world of esports has continued to strive over the years through my own eyes.
I have been nominated for multiple awards throughout the years, including being a finalist in the Esports Awards for Photographer of the year 2020.
