KASET ALCOTT

The photography journey started when I was around 5 years old and I got my first disposable Kodak camera. Throughout the years I've worked my way up the multiple styles of cameras from cheap polaroids (childhood), Pentax film (middle school/high school), point and shoot sony pocket (collage class and newspaper assignments), canon rebels (start of my career after collage), to high-speed canon 5d mark iii (currently using). After switching up majors in college from pre-med to mass communication, I knew where my passion was truly behind the camera and being able to be creative. My amateur career started in 2010, after my oldest son was born, shooting mostly weddings and only using natural light. In 2015, I took the leap and left my stable corporate career to focus full-time on becoming a professional photographer. My style of photography got a huge upgrade about five years ago when I was forced to use strobe lighting outside after the sun had set on a tester shoot for a workshop marketing set. I then realized there was no excuse to keep shooting out of my dining room and discovered my love for portrait photography was greater than my love for weddings. I then partnered with Manda Tyler Sparks on creating a fashion magazine called Moira Magazine, which is made up of mostly Tulsa fashion and creative entrepreneurs. Almost a year after this workshop, my partner and I found our first studio in the Tulsa area and named it after our magazine. In this studio is where I worked hard learning all the fun dramatic ways of using studio lighting. I love the boldness and sharpness studio lighting has molded my photography. The pandemic played a big role in my career and actually launched it into some of the best years of my professional career. We are now renovating a new collaborating photography studio space for creative entrepreneurs to rent out for all the project needs big and small.
