Whether it\u2019s a woman on a motel bed fidgeting anxiously with her bracelet as a man\u2019s shadow darkens the wall behind her, or a couple in a car who can\u2019t bear to look at eachother, her photos always have something deeper going on below the surface.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We interviewed Kait to find out how she does it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn41.picsart.com\/173702741000201.jpeg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"fashion photographer Kait Rpbinson\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How did you get interested in fashion photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Growing up, I had always appreciated and admired photography as a medium. I began taking darkroom photography classes while I was in high school, with no specific focus really. And around the same time, I really started to fall in love with fashion. Next thing I knew, my-once-flower-macro-shots had turned into (amateur) fashion shoots, complete with hair and make-up.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It wasn&#8217;t until I was a sophomore in college studying advertising and public relations that I realized photography was the path I wanted to go. Shortly after, I moved to NYC to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology, where I just recently graduated with a BFA in photography.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What was your most memorable shoot and why was it so memorable?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">My most memorable shoot would have to be my &#8216;Motel Blues&#8217; series. Not only was it the biggest shoot I had produced, but because at the time, I remember feeling like the final product was a true representation of my style in every sense of the form\u2014lighting, composition, mood, etc.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I have an affinity for anything retro or vintage, as well as photography that has a story behind the photographs. I had envisioned this specific project for a while and it was inspiring and self-satisfying making it come to life.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2015\/07\/173702787000201.jpeg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"fashion photographer Kait Rpbinson\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>In what ways do you \u201cdirect\u201d the performance of your models?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I get this question a lot, and though it seems like a typical answer, I simply try to make the person feel as comfortable as possible. And I&#8217;m talking about from the moment they enter through the door.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When the time comes to shoot, it makes both of our jobs much easier because we&#8217;ve already &#8220;broken the ice&#8221; in a way. I don&#8217;t particularly like fashion shots that are obviously pose-y, so making the subject comfortable lends itself to that casual, cool vibe which I much prefer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Is there a particular look or feel in photography you gravitate towards?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I typically am intrigued by anything that&#8217;s very moody or appears to have some kind of story. Alex Prager, for example, is a huge inspiration to me.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I don&#8217;t like when the subjects are too posed. I want it to look effortless and natural, yet still have direction. It&#8217;s interesting that I recently realized that a good amount of my photographs don&#8217;t have eye contact. I suppose I enjoy the almost photographer-isn&#8217;t-there kind of feeling.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>You\u2019re shooting at such a high level that it is easy to forget you are just 24 years old. To what do you attribute your early success?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When I was around 16 years old and just getting into photography, a family member gave me a book on the basics. I read it front to back probably six times in a week\u2019s span. I think having both an appreciation for the technicality as well as the aesthetics really pushed me to want to photograph.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This might not be the same for every photographer, but I truly loved learning how a camera functioned. So at a young age, I had for the most part learned a great deal about how to properly take a photograph, which allowed me to then focus on concepts and all the visual aspects later on.<\/p>\n<p
