01 / About

FOUR SEASONS.
ONE ENDURING LANDSCAPE.

Based in California’s Eastern Sierra, I specialize in photographing the region’s mountains, high desert, alpine lakes, wildlife, communities, and changing seasons—especially the quiet power of winter. The Eastern Sierra is the heart of my work, while my photography remains open to landscapes, destinations, people, and projects throughout California and beyond.

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR
BISHOP & MAMMOTH LAKES.

Landscape, travel, and a sense of place

Looking for a photographer in Bishop or Mammoth Lakes, CA? I’m Christian Katwan, the photographer behind KatFilms. My work centers on Eastern Sierra landscapes, seasonal light, and the people and places that give the region its character. Bishop and Mammoth Lakes are the focus of my photography services, with projects welcome throughout the Owens Valley and the wider Eastern Sierra.

For a destination, property, or outdoor brand, a photography project starts with the story you want to tell. Share where the images will be used, your location, and your timing so we can discuss the right approach. Discuss a Bishop or Mammoth Lakes photography project or explore the landscape portfolio.

Fine-art photography prints

Bring the Eastern Sierra into your home or workspace with a photograph from the portfolio. Fine-art landscape prints start at $35, with sizing and finish options available by request. View print and photography pricing.

Bishop Creek and the Owens Valley

From the open Owens Valley to the lakes of Bishop Creek Canyon, the Bishop area offers very different settings for landscape photography. Lake Sabrina, North Lake, and South Lake are among the area’s mountain destinations. A project’s location and timing depend on the season, access, weather, and the photographs you want to create.

Mammoth Lakes photography

Planning a photography project in Mammoth Lakes? KatFilms offers landscape and travel photography for destinations, properties, and outdoor brands, with the same attention to place and seasonal light as my Bishop work. Share your preferred setting, dates, and intended use so we can discuss a project around Mammoth’s mountain landscape.
