Katlyn O’Hara
T
oday, in an art world full of cynics, nay sayers, and negative energy, lies a rare optimist who is on a mission to share great stories. Her name is Katlyn O’Hara. It’s taken about 11 years, but as her body of work continues to grow, her stories are finally starting to
be heard. No one is really sure why Katlyn gravitated toward photography, but when she got her
first camera on Christmas morning, it was love at first sight. Coming from a large family of writers, musicians and artist in Southern NH, Katlyn tried to find her own medium for telling stories differently. Since then, she’s covered topics ranging from band’s major label release premieres to national rock and punk festivals to fashion shows and even final portraits of terminally ill cancer patients.
She first learned how to shoot with the help of her mother, who had plenty of practice
capturing the youth of Katlyn and her four other brothers and sister in Phillipston, a small town out in Western MA. With a quick learning curve, and a studious approach, Katlyn’s first stories she’d photograph were skateboarding adventures she’d tag along on with her twin brother and his group of friends. She learned the basics that summer and throughout the rest of high school, her subjects, skills, and reputation evolved, and she began to capture more of her interest: musicians, bands, fashion, and entertainment. After graduating from Pinkerton Academy, Katlyn decided she wanted to be a photographer, not just as a hobby, but also as a career.
