Hi, I'm
Katelyn Howerton!

When I started doing photography, I fell in love with the art. I love taking photos of the world around me. I started getting more into taking nature and animal photographs. The part of nature that I was always fascinated by was the micro world. Small insects, flowers, water droplets on leaves, and snowflakes always captivated me. With photography, I have an opportunity to delve into these forgotten worlds that are a part of nature. I love to get up close to my subjects and capture their incredible, and beautiful, detail. While I love the micro world, I also greatly enjoy photographing other aspects of nature, like the unique trees, mountains, environment, and the wildlife that inhabit it.
When it comes to winter, the world seems to be still after a fresh snowfall. The environment is quiet and holds an intricate design through ice crystals and piles of snowflakes. My goal through this project was to capture the tiny details in a winter environment. From tiny icicles to a single snowflake, there are so many complex and intricate designs that are created in nature.
When I look at my work, I see the incredibly complex details of nature and a world that’s just waiting to be explored and discovered. It seems like most people will focus on the large, obvious details because they easily capture a person’s attention. The small micro world, however, can be just as beautiful and captivating and that’s what I want to shed light on and reveal to everyone.
