Katrina Tekavec - Biography

My background is photography. I studied photography and early in my career I was a dedicated photographer's assistant, fluent in all types of cameras and strobe equipment as well as knowing my way around a darkroom, both in film processing and printing.

I was briefly a shooter before settling on a career in styling - never looking back. It is the career that I am most suited for, without question. I still shoot for myself and keep an active interest in fine art photography.

During all of this I became a self-taught pastry chef, taught a class on foodstyling at the Restaurant School in Philadelphia and presented a demonstration at Food On Film '03 on Beverages and Special Effects.

Testimonials

".......Working with Katrina is always a pleasure. She is not only very competent in food and prop styling but she always handles her work with professional pride, honesty, and a strong sense of integrity tempered with an excellent sense of humor." - Gwendolyn Goguelet, Marketing Manager, High Liner Foods, USA.

"Katrina is one of my 'A' choices. If the job requires ideas and visions about food, flowers or room environments, having Kat on the project always means we'll have more ideas and solutions than we can use.

If the job is tough, long or complex I work her into the budget. We've done projects together that dragged on for a month and she brought her energy and appetite for the work in with her everyday. If you give me my choice, I'll choose Katrina." - Mark Rockwood, Photographer
