About

I understand the importance of capturing the energy of live performances and having worked with a diverse range of clients, I feel my portfolio showcases a broad variety of projects, highlighting my ability to preserve the magic of the moment for years to come, freezing a dancer mid-leap, capturing the raw energy of a live concert or the drama unfolding on a theatrical stage.

Whether you're looking to create impactful images for your creative business or need a reliable professional to capture your event, you can rely on me.

My work has featured in national and international publications and has been recognised by Getty Editorial Awards, International Photography Awards and The Event Photography Awards. .

Whether you're staging a theatrical production, curating a live music experience or coordinating an event, I am here to bring your vision to life through compelling visual storytelling.

In an age when everyone with a digital camera thinks they are a rock photographer Katja is the real deal. She has an eye for detail, a rare sense of composition and essential patience that proves that while the bar to being a photographer of live music has never been lower, the art of doing it excellently requires skills that still elude most... but not her. If anyone doubts her ability they should just look on our site at her shots of Laibach at the Tate Modern (photographs that ended up being used as artwork by the group for a Mute Records release); Stockhausen's Mittwoch Aus Licht and festivals such as Supersonic and Bloodstock. She's a great phtographer and we're always really pleased when she agrees to shoot stuff for us.

Katja has a wonderful eye for the 'perfect' shot and I've never been disappointed by a set of her photos - the difficulty is in choosing which ones to use, as there are so many good ones to choose from. Friendly, easy to talk to and a joy to commission. If we could clone her, we would!
Louise Brock, Metal Hammer

When it came to organising photography for our events there was only one choice and we were straight on the phone to Katja. With Katja, we can be assured of a dedicated work ethic, really enjoyable collaboration, a trust in each other’s processes and, of course, world-class results. Myself and my team could not be happier with the work Katja has captured for us as she has captured not only the visual spectacle of our live shows, but also the heart of the people behind the stage. 10/10 every time.

At Flatpack we pride ourselves on transforming spaces to create one of a kind experiences, something not always easy to capture on camera, unless of course you're Katja Ogrin. We've had the pleasure of working with Katja on hundreds of events over the years - from 5-piece punk puppet shows to immersive outdoor horror screenings to an audience watching a film while floating across a swimming pool in rubber rings. And Katja nails it every time. Her photographs beautifully capture the atmosphere and specialness of an experience shared, and she's an absolute delight to work with. Thank you Katja!
Amy Smart, Flatpack

Katja has worked with us over the course of many our projects – from large scale productions with an audience of thousands such as The Voyage, to smaller, more intimate pieces . Whatever the nature of the production, Katja's work is always dynamic, bold, engaging and captures wonderfully the mood of a moment, be that from the audiences standpoint or the perspective of the performers. The Images she has provided us with up to now, are seen by promotors and fans all around the world and we feel they represent Motionhouse's work to everyone who sees them, beautifully.
Lara Coffey, Motionhouse

Katja has consistently produced high quality photography for Capsule events, working on live shows, exhibitions and festivals. From documentation of events, live performance shoots and portrait projects to co-ordination of the photography at our annual Supersonic Festival, Katja always delivers excellent work with a professional approach. Katja's passion and investment in her subjects guarantees beautiful photographs every time.
Lisa Meyer, Capsule

Katja was the primary photographer for our major public project, PoliNations, in September 2022. The project was a conceptually rich, vibrant celebration of diversity, multiculturalism and togetherness. Katja understood this beautifully, capturing the essence and dynamism of the programme, the site, and those that attended, performed or otherwise contributed towards it.
Her delivery was timely and professional, and her work provided a vivid depiction of a complex project. From site-wide shots of our pop-up super garden, to fleeting moments capturing the magic between audience and performer. She did a fantastic job.
Hatty Campbell-Taylor, Trigger Stuff

I have had the pleasure of working with Katja on several occasions, both in the studio and on stage, and I can highly recommend her abilities as a photographer. Katja has a great presence in the studio- unobtrusive, sensitive and respectful. But what she sees really can capture the essence of a live work in a single shot. We have used her images for several national press campaigns and we are very pleased with the results. Katja is adaptable, talented, versatile and easy to work with.
