Katrina Whitehead is a photographic artist and university lecturer, specialising in post-feminist culture and bookmaking. 

Research for her practice-based PhD in Art and Design (University of Huddersfield), deconstructs Crime Photo Novels through the female gaze. Originally inspired by research into the women in her family tree during lockdown, Katrina uses family photographs, letters, diaries, vintage ephemera and artefacts, to bring women to life using a blend of truth and fiction. She is currently working collaboratively with a collective of artists, milliners and costumiers to recreate the true story of murder victim Mary Rogers, from a more female point of view.  

Katrina has exhibited internationally and spoken at conferences including the Royal Photographic Society.
