The Photographer
Contentious Reality Photography is the commercial home and creative vision of Western Massachusetts based photographer Katie Harper.
Katie has been in love with photography most of her life. She has gained a bit of recognition as lead photographer for New England Oddities, mostly focusing on cemeteries and monuments, historical locations, abandonments and architecture.
Though she does utilize a studio for some projects, much of her work is shot in a great variety of found places and outdoor locations, both urban and pastoral. Incorporating models, musical artists and everyday people into her shots, she calls on on her experience with “oddities” photography to naturally blends the subjects into their surroundings to create much more than just a portrait.
Contentious Reality photography is high drama, powerful and sometimes edgy, incorporating elements of urban exploration, theater and nature with various aspects of human nature.
Katie is available for solo or group photography. Her services are open to all, however her style and techniques are a good fit for musical artists, theater groups, social organizations, models, and families, children & teens with attitude. Katie specializes in promotional photography for musicians and portfolio development for models.
