©2025 Kate Molenkamp



I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where I live and work, 
the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation and pay my respects 
to Elders past and present. 


From the river to the sea, always was always will be.

      About









She/Her
B. 1991
AU/NL national


I am an emerging Photographer and Visual Artist based in Naarm/Melbourne AU. 

Majoring in Documentary, I graduated from the BA Photography Program at RMIT University in 2012 and have been in love with the medium ever since.

Embarking on my first project in Korea, I released my first publication Outlander in February 2015. The photo series was exhibited in June 2015 (Naarm/Melbourne AU). Since its release, the publication has featured at photography festivals in Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Ireland, Sweden and Latvia. Returning to Korea in late 2015, I worked on Sea and Sky, my secondary project focusing on life, time and space on islands and coastal towns in the republic.

I have since been working on a few projects closer to home; Bodies of Water, These Sour Times, Sticking Together Is What Good Eggs Do and One Sky, Too Many Fences - all long term works in progress.

In 2020, I completed a GD-Arts (Anthropology) at the University of Melbourne - with a focus on Post-Colonial Studies, Nature and Environmental Studies and Critical Theory.

I also work as a Freelance Photographer, with a specialisation in Product/Lifestyle, Documentary, Food, Spaces and Places. 

I’m always up for something new and excited to take on new clients, commissions and collaborations in AU, EU or around the globe, and welcome you to get in touch anytime.
