Katto

art direction + styling

Katto sells a range of exceptional chef knives made from Japanese steel with hand-carved wooden handles. Made in the UK, their core range launched in 2018 and has since evolved to include BBQ tools, knife accessories and pasta making tools. 

We were approached by the founder to art direct and style a shoot that would evolve their  aesthetic, introducing tactility and context to their product photography whilst showcasing the craft and character of their knives. We worked with the award-winning food photographer, Kim Lightbody, who has captured the unique form and texture of Katto’s core range. The photography has been used across their website and social media to drive brand awareness and engagement.

We are currently planning a second, seasonal shoot with the brand.
