I had to learn everything about alternative processes for many of my college classes. When coming into college, I knew nothing about photography. I even joked with some people saying I could learn through the internet about these classes. But actually, taking the time to learn about these processes opened a whole new world for me. Every alternate process class has opened my eyes into the photography world even more, and I fall in love with it every single day. I take every opportunity I have to learn about these processes. I don't ever want to stop learning about them. I have grown to love the art of photography and the hard work that comes along with it.

About
Katie Goossen (Omaha, United States) was born and raised in Bellevue, Nebraska. In May of 2022, she graduated from Metropolitan Community college with an Associates degree in photography. Goossen has been pursuing her career as a photographer for over two years now behind and in front of the camera. During those years, she has grown fond of film and alternate processes. Goossen has been experimenting with these processes at home and is trying to perfect each. Her film pieces have become some of her best work and hopes to create her own dark room, to continue with the thing she loves most. With her pieces, Goossen likes to push the boundary between sculpture and 2D images. She explores her past and relives her trauma through her pieces to help her in many ways: as art therapy. Goossen enjoys the hands-on experience because each piece gives her a challenge in its own way. Goossen hopes to one day have her pieces displayed in many art exhibitions to come and hopes that her work grows along beside her.
