About me

headshot of Suffolk natural brand photographer Cat Heygate Photo

I’m Cat —  I work with local small businesses, creatives and entrepreneurs who want natural, authentic images that reflect their values. As a photographer what I look for in a shoot is connection, storytelling, humour, the special Suffolk light and, if possible, nature.


I've been so fortunate to photograph some of the remarkable people who live in Suffolk and make it a wonderful place to live. Before that I studied Fine Art at Falmouth and then worked with photographers in illustrated book publishing.


I aim to create beautiful images with a meaningful narrative, connected to the local area. I live just outside Woodbridge and cover the surrounding areas, and the rest of Suffolk.

Testimonial

"I comissioned a set of artist photos from Cat. As a nervous and self-conscious subject, I was immediately put at ease by her creativity, professionalism and the amount of time and care she took over finding exactly the right locations, angles and poses to make things look and feel natural. She took the time to get to know me and how I would wish to be represented and it felt like a truly collaborative process. The results were spectaular and the shoot was such good fun that I don't just look at the photos as an asset but as a capture of a really fun morning in the mud at Snape. Strong recommend!"
