Katrina Dobbermane, photographer and artist in Paris, founder of La Koré
I was so fascinated by fine art photography. I asked my teacher constantly: What makes a photograph... fine art? Trying to understand it. Until I became, one might say, a fine art photographer. But I didn’t want to be just... a photographer. I wanted to be an artist. Katrina Dobbermane
Biography of Katrina Dobbermane
The artist.
Katrina Dobbermane is an internationally awarded photographer and artist based in Paris.
Her work, defined by a contemporary, sensual visual language and a timeless artistic signature, has been recognised and exhibited at photography festivals around the world.
Influenced by her lifelong practice of dance, she approaches photography with a strong choreographic sensibility in the way she observes and works with her subjects. It is this choreographic dimension that later gave its name to La Koré.

Koré, the meaning of the name
The name.
La Koré, independent creative house in Paris
La Koré carries all three: the young girl with a dream, the eye behind the camera, and a choreographic, sculptural visual identity.
Bringing together her two worlds, art and international business, Katrina Dobbermane founded La Koré, an independent creative house in Paris dedicated to photography, brand aesthetics, creative direction and AI visual production. Her experience in business gives her a precise understanding of each brand’s needs, stakes and constraints, and her artistic practice turns that understanding into a visual identity of its own.
