Kate Ushakova is a 20-year-old photographer and videographer originally from Ukraine, now based in Vienna, Austria. Her work is inspired by God's perfect order, striking contrasts, the dialogue between black and white, thorny roses, the force of an unpredictable wind, and the color red.
Her creative journey began in 2021 while working as a social media manager for a Spanish cosmetics brand. When the business required luxurious product photography, rather than outsourcing it, Kate chose to create it herself, driven by a clear artistic vision and a deeply personal understanding of beauty. At age 15, she bought her first camera and immersed herself completely in the world of visual art.
With a background in marketing, years of training at an art school, and experience in dance, music, and literature, Kate brings a multidisciplinary foundation to every shoot — allowing her to recognize beauty, shape it, and communicate it through both photography and film.
The most important thing to know about Kate is that she is a follower of Christ. Her greatest purpose in life is to serve Him and glorify Him. She believes every talent is a gift from God and should be used for His glory — a conviction rooted in Colossians 3:17:
“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”Colossians 3:17
She is also a co-founder and active leader of Awana Club, a Christian youth organization, where she leads creative direction, event production, and hosting.
Kate's artistic language is built around dignity, elegance, and luxury. She admires people of strong principles — those who know where they're going and possess unwavering inner character. This philosophy naturally led her to specialize in the luxury niche. Whether she's capturing a person, a product, or an event, her goal is always the same: to reveal its finest qualities. Elegant, yet bold. Sophisticated, yet powerful.
