Katie Edwards is a UK-based photographer who captures landscapes and urban environments through the frame of train windows, transforming fleeting moments of transit into carefully composed, sustained visual compositions. Using the window as a constant compositional device, she isolates gestures, patterns, and fragments of landscape that might otherwise pass unnoticed. Shooting thousands of images in motion and refining them through careful editing, she assembles moments that balance documentary precision with a poetic sense of atmosphere. This process allows vast territories to become perceptible and intimate, reframing travel as visual discovery and construction.
Among her notable projects is a series on the Dutch tulip fields, and another created during a 10,000-mile train journey across the United States, presenting diverse geographies through the recurring motif of the train window. Her photographs have been featured in publications including BBC, The Times, Condé Nast Traveller, and Wallpaper, with The Times’ Chief Art Critic Laura Freeman observing that her images encourage viewers to see even their daily commute with renewed attention. Her work has attracted a broad international audience, with more than 90,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok engaging with her evolving archive of land- and cityscapes captured in motion.
