Katie Burdon

Katie Burdon is a Director-Photographer currently based in London, hailing from Cornwall.

A strong focus on the female gaze is maintained throughout her work whether that be through Photography or Film. Her work can be characterised by a strong sense of intimacy that celebrates the human condition in all its form.

Her short ‘Blue Tits’ is a poignant documentary on the healing power of the collective human spirit and the joy that can be found in letting go of yourself. It was selected at a number of festivals. Katie was also shortlisted at Cannes YDA in 2024 for her work with charity Breast Cancer Now, a powerful documentary-style commercial which told the stories of people living with Secondary Breast Cancer.

Her lockdown piece ‘Children of Stone’ is an ode to nature, freedom and her Celtic heritage.

Katie’s photography has exhibited in London and Milan also showing in 'Embracing Diversity' at Photo Vogue, whilst her work has been published in the British Journal of Photography, Vogue Italia and Wired. Her work with Sex vs Cancer won her campaign ‘Cancer Won’t Be The Last Thing That F**ks Me’ a Gold for Best Charity Campaign, Silver for Social Influence and Bronze for Photography at the Creative Circle Awards 2024. 

Katie is currently working on her next documentary film & photo project and has just co-written a Cornish language romance / horror short film.
