kate o'brien
Drag to set position!
Australian photographer Kate O’Brien’s photos are fantasy snow globes, arranged just so. Not a shiny curl out of place, not a flower askew, they’re bottled candy bliss
An avid collector, Kate finds inspiration everywhere. Online auctions, liquidators and op-shops are her hunting grounds when in search of the perfect piece to finalize her vision. Driven by a deep love of Victoriana and the macabre, Kate often spends years looking for weird and wonderful items to include in her photographs
O’Brien lives in Brisbane with her husband, two cats and five ducks. There she continues to immortalize an ever-growing assortment of muses, each image a sugar-dusted memento of an eerie world in a simpler time.

However, its a sweet kind of envy 'cuz she's is SO darned talented its a pleasure to see her work on my screen. If I had more than two nickels to rub together I might purchase her work for my own living space. Wish her well and watch her closely!

Kate o'brien is my role model in photography. I want to become like her someday. or can I? She makes a whole movie in a single shot, She makes fantasies so real that I can stretch my arm and touch them. She is Broadway in a nutshell. Her imagination is an explosion of cup cakes, pudding, chocolate, girls, costumes and makeup. I wonder what would it be like to live in her world!

Kate takes fantastic portraits - always full of colour, texture, light and life... It is always a delight to look through her latest photos...
No matter the setting, her images evoke emotions that we all can relate to. Vibrant colors and detailed sets make the images all the more enjoyable.
