Kathleen Vanessa Gil Castano

Based in the Northern Rivers, Australia, I work across documentary and fine-art photography with a focus on place, culture, and human connection. My practice has been shaped by extensive travel, time spent within diverse communities, and a deep connection to nature, adventure, and mindful living.

With an entrepreneurial and multidisciplinary background spanning surfing, fitness, yoga, coaching, and community services, I approach photography with care and attentiveness—allowing moments to unfold naturally. My work explores everyday rituals, movement, and the quiet serendipity of life, creating images that feel grounded, reflective, and immersive.

I am open to collaborations across adventure projects in high mountains, surfing retreats, coaching and holistic movement spaces, community-based work, events, and NGO initiatives around the world.
