Kathryn Coers Rossman (website: kathryncoersrossman.com, insta: @kathryncoersrossman) is a photojournalist in Bloomington, Indiana, USA. She enjoys the community building aspect of documenting local news. Her shooting style resembles street photography. She also completes editorial projects as a conceptual photographer and creative director, producing themed creative portraits that are often surreal. She uses her editorial career to bolster her fine art career, and her fine art work to enhance her photojournalism. She is a Midwestern Millennial white woman — not the kind from a rich suburban enclave, but one generation removed from orphans and homesteaders, small folk from a small town. Her photos show vibrancy here little acknowledged in popular media, ever blinded by quaintness and dread of rural life. She is always looking for connections, ways to show how people think and feel the same, even though we may look and act so differently.
Kathryn is a contributor at Bloom magazine and The Herald-Times, part of the USA Today Network. Her project "National Anthem: Punk Patriotism!" (2023) was published in Polyester magazine. Kathryn's project "Lisa Frank, All Grown Up" was featured #11 in LENSCRATCH's Favorite Photograph of 2023 exhibit. "The Majorette" (2022) was included in Cerulean: A Winter Photography Exhibit by Pattern magazine. She was the official event photographer for the 2021 Indiana Hot Air Balloon Festival, a featured artist at the 2021 Indy Rama home design show, and is a two time City of Bloomington Arts Commission Emerging Artist Grant recipient. Kathryn is a member of the Visual Arts Steering Committee for Constellation Stage & Screen's John Waldron Art Center.
Kathryn is happily married and is the proud mother of a son. She left Indiana for twenty years, working in Silicon Valley, New York City's East Village and South Florida, before returning to her home state. Her cousin, photojournalist Michael Coers (deceased), won the Pulitzer Prize documenting school integration for the Louisville Courier Journal in 1975.
