About the coach
Kate Holt is an award-winning photographer and content specialist with over 25 years of experience capturing humanitarian and development stories for international NGOs and major news outlets around the world. Trained at the BBC, Kate has established a reputation for producing compelling visual narratives that bring attention to critical regional and global issues.
"I have created this course because I wish there had been something similar when I embarked on my photography journey thirty years ago. I started my career as a journalist with the BBC in London and went on to become a photojournalist. There was so much I had to figure out myself along the way; I have condensed much of this knowledge into this course for you. I want everyone to experience the joy of being able to tell a story through their photographs and realise that we are surrounded by compelling visual stories in our every day lives. I hope you enjoy it."

"Thank you so much for the course. It is by far the best photography course I have done and Kate had so many useful tips and a great way of explaining things to de-mistify photography"
