ABOUT
Kaytlin Schmidt is a photographer based in Port Huron, Michigan. She is currently a student at the College for Creative Studies (CCS) working towards her BFA in photography. Her images and photobooks have been featured in CCS’ Student Exhibition, Hatch Art Gallery, and the Sault Area Art Center. Through documentary and typological photography, she investigates the ordinary and the banal, as well as the natural landscape intertwined with them. Her work often centers around the Blue Water Area, a region encompassing Michigan’s thumb-coast including Lake Huron, the St. Clair River, and numerous port towns. Textural studies of repetitive, everyday objects are also a large part of her practice, including tree bark, pet fur, and power line poles.
