WHY?

(why choose us over anyone else?)

Because we’ll never say, “Pose like this, babe.”

We’ve actually witnessed that happen — a snobby photographer in Milan telling another artist how to contort themselves mid-shoot like a prop. It was awkward. Fake. And exactly what we are not.

At def0cused, we do things differently.

We create space.
A space where you feel safe to open up, where your awkwardness turns into confidence, and where you’re never asked to be anyone other than yourself.

We bring expertise

✨ Years of education in photography, filmmaking & creative direction
✨ Certified Reels creation expertise
✨ A background in platinum-level customer service
✨ A deep understanding of psychology & mental health
✨ A cozy, collaborative, and deeply personal process
✨ A mission to prove: you (and your brand) are already worthy of being seen

Let us help you feel it — and show it to the world.

REELS-PHOTO-FILM

Def0cused is a visual storytelling production studio specialising in photography, film, and reels. We create honest, emotive visuals through documentary-style photography, cinematic film, and engaging, story-driven reels — all crafted to reflect the unique beauty, truth, and voice of every subject.
Behind the production team is Kate, who directs and delivers most projects herself. For larger-scale work, she collaborates with a network of trusted local creatives to ensure each project is delivered on time and with the highest level of creativity and care.

Mission Statement

Def0cused started as Kate’s VJ name over a decade ago—a nod to seeing the world differently, beyond the obvious. Today, it’s our creative space for capturing raw, unscripted moments through photography, videography, and Reels.

At Def0cused we believe storytelling is more than just visuals; it’s about emotion, connection, and impact. Our passion lies in helping people and brands see themselves in a new light—building confidence, uncovering hidden talents, and transforming ideas into compelling narratives.

Through research, thoughtful scriptwriting, and a personalised 1:1 approach, we take the stress out of the creative process. Whether you’re an artist, a small business, or an individual with a story to tell, we help you share it in a way that feels authentic, impactful, and visually compelling.

We specialise in documentary-style storytelling, capturing moments that will never happen again. Our goal is to create work that not only looks good but feels real—whether it’s preserving once-in-a-lifetime memories or crafting powerful brand visuals that leave a lasting impression.

We envision a world where creativity is accessible to everyone, not just an elite few. Where self-expression is celebrated, and visual storytelling is recognised as a tool for connection, transformation, and change.

Let’s make something unforgettable.

Alessandro e Lucia

We can't thank Kate enough for the incredible work she did as our wedding photographer. She made us feel completely at ease, and that comfort truly shines through in every photo. Kate captured our day in the most natural and beautiful way.
Every time we look through our wedding album, we’re transported back to those moments.
Thank you for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever.

If you’re considering Kate for your wedding or any special occasion, don’t hesitate—she’s an absolute gem, and her work speaks for itself.

Aleksandra

This was already my second photoshoot with Def0cused, and once again, I’m absolutely thrilled! 🌟
She’s incredibly open, fun, and easygoing — from the very first minutes, it feels like you’ve known each other for years. She knows exactly how to guide you, make you feel comfortable, and help you shine in front of the camera. 📸✨

The whole experience is not just professional, it’s also filled with laughter, creativity, and positive energy. Every shot turns out amazing because she genuinely loves what she does — and it shows.

If you’re looking for not only beautiful photos but also an experience you’ll truly enjoy — I highly recommend her. She’s just crazy good!
