Katie Herbst is a photographer and urban explorer based in Columbus, Ohio. Being an avid history buff from a young age, she is fascinated by the many unique stories held within the walls of the locations she chooses to document in her work. Inspired by the gritty textures created by peeling paint, crumbling brick, and broken windows, she strives to pay homage to these things as well as demonstrate the beauty that can be found within urban decay.
At the age of 23, Katie has been featured in several publications and galleries and curates group shows around Columbus.
