E Katie Holm

E. Katie Holm is a Minneapolis-based fine art and commercial photographer. Originally schooled in classic black and white darkroom processes, she now utilizes the tools of both traditional and digital photography to create her images. Her personal work is highly influenced by history, mythology and the
Pictoralist Photographers, and her images often convey a sense of romance, mystery and spirituality. Katie's singular sense of portraiture and storytelling are evident in both her client collaborations and personal compositions.

My current personal project is WOMEN WARRIORS.  The WOMEN WARRIORS began in the spring of 2006, and was inspired by the story of England’s Queen Boudicca. I was driven to discover other historic women leaders, and longed to know their tales. I decided to interpret their significance by creating a series of formal studio portraits in Renaissance style. The portraits are meticulously researched, and are based on historic evidence such as physical characteristics, existing artistic depictions, and the costuming and weaponry of each location and time period. This is done so that I may most accurately portray how each woman may have actually looked. These images are created to challenge the viewers’ thoughts and ideas about women’s roles in history. The WOMEN WARRIORS has allowed me to create an approach to portraiture that exposes and makes real the grandeur of the unmarked and unknown significant life.  Visit www.ekatieholm.com/women_warriors.htm for more information.
