With over 16 years of experience, clients trust her to bring a refined, thoughtful approach to every shoot.

{I work at Donald J Pliner in the content and e-commerce management department - one of my responsibilities is to organize photo shoots for new product. I was intimidated not knowing much about product photography - Kate welcomed me right in to her profession. From the first shoot together Kate taught me how to style product before shooting, so that you capture the best image, how to work with different materials and lighting and to top it off she is a pleasure to work with... so not like any other big headed Miami photographer. She truly believes in her art and capturing the best image!!! If you want a diva don't choose Kate Benson - If you want a professional with an abundance of information and expertise choose Kate Benson!

{Working with Kate is just wonderful; in any way! We are jewelers and taking pictures of fine Diamonds and Sapphires is very difficult. Very. But she has no problems with it and makes the perfect pictures always. It doesn't stop there: she has a lot of sensibility and grace which she translates into the pictures. She understands the projects and what it needs to make it perfect to show the product at its best. We are pleased and lucky to know her. She is not only a perfectionist but a lovely person to work with.
