Katie Addo
PHOTOGRAPHER
Katie’s background is in editorial work and portraiture. Prior to relocating home to Buffalo, she spent seven years working in magazines in NYC, holding positions as the staff photographer at Glamour and Elle. Her photography has appeared in Glamour, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Esquire, The Washington Post, AARP, Buffalo Spree and Buffalo Magazine.
Katie's adventurous personality is evident in her photography. Her portfolio demonstrates a romantic appreciation for the world around her and a classic understanding of her equipment. From celebrity portraits to landscapes (and everywhere in between) she continually seeks that beautiful moment worth capturing.

“Both Greg and Katie are storytellers, visual artists and truly understand how to bring a brand's identity to life through creative assets. They don't shy away from a creative challenge, and always make recommendations on how to elevate our concepts, and bring them to life in the best possible format. I look forward to working with Addo Productions again and again. ”

We know how important your vision is. We love what we do and we take our work very seriously. Given the opportunity to help you tell your story is truly a privilege to us that we do not take for granted. When you choose to work with Addo Productions, you can rest assured that you are in the best of hands.
HOW WE WORK WITH OUR CLIENTS:
Some clients know exactly what they want and how they plan to utilize photo/video. But not everyone knows EXACTLY what they want or how long/how much it will take to capture their idea. We love working with our clients to identify the story they want to tell and estimate the time and investment it will take to tell that story.

“I’ve been on all sides of the creative meetings and my expertise is getting the client the message they want to tell, through the story I help them find, on the budget they asked for, within the timeline we agreed on… all with a positive attitude.”
