Kathleen McIntyre is a photographer born in 1962 in California, to an American father and a Norwegian mother. After her father died, she moved to Norway as a child. She is a Norwegian citizen and lives and works in Oslo.
Her photographic career began in the darkroom, and she has gradually moved to digital color work. Her images are soft and layered, and she does not manipulate them. Her monograph Color Me Softly (Kehrer Verlag, 2024) collects photographs from fifteen years, arranged along a color scale that shows on the edge of the Japanese-bound book. She has been represented by Gallery Ramfjord in Oslo for many years and has exhibited internationally.
