About Me

“Photography is to be present.”

— Libuše Jarcovjáková

 

Bio

My name is Alyte Katilius and I am a photographer and photojournalist. 

In my work I am particularly passionate about stories concerning women and their roles as athletes, citizens, workers, sisters, and mothers. I've recently been inspired by personal and social documentary photographers, one of which is quoted above, as a way to enact change in the world.

I hope that my visual storytelling can pierce through the veil of numbness so many of us are experiencing as it relates to the news, and evoke a sense of shared humanity. 

Personal Style

My goal is to build lasting bonds of trust with the community I am covering and to always be truthful in my representaiton of its members. In other words, I view my craft as a collaboration between myself and the community. I cannot do my job without the acceptance, respect, and trust of the people I work with. 

I shoot every assignment with a curious and exploring eye. I tend to be attracted to dramatic lighting, layering, and graphic composition. Naturally short, I have a unique point of view that has been to my great advantage.

Experience

I am currently the staff photographer, photo editor, and videographer for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle in Cheyenne, WY. I am responsible for the paper's visuals across our online, print, and social media platforms. I cover a large region from Fort Collins, CO to Laramie, WY to Burns, WY.

Previously I've worked for MLive, The State News, LTnews, and I've contributed to People Magazine.

On the side, I adore shooting family portraiture including engagement, maternity, family, graduation, and newborn portraits.
