Kaitlin Jencso

Kaitlin Jencso is a photographer who documents moments of everyday life to communicate intimate and interior experiences. With an eye to cinema, she seeks out beauty in commonplace scenes, focusing on a pop of color, a glimmer of light, a flutter of material. While she captures moments of light and grace, her practice is methodical, the result of diligent shooting and processing to isolate ideas and develop them as themes or installations. 

Jencso won the Focal Point award of merit from the Maryland Federation of Art and has received D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities fellowship awards in 2023 and 2025. Jencso is a two-time winner of FotoWeek D.C. She served as a Hamiltonian fellow in 2018–2020. She is a graduate of the College of Southern Maryland and received her BFA in fine art photography from the Corcoran College of Art + Design. She lives and works in Washington, D.C.
