Guns N' Roses Tour Photographer, Scuba Diver & Animal Advocate

Kat Benzova is the lead tour photographer for Guns N' Roses, and has also captured rare moments with iconic bands like Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Kiss, Skid Row, ZZ Top, to name a few. While her career certainly appears sexy, there is no shortage of demanding hours, including world travel and losing sight of time zones across continents. She talks about the challenges of working in a male dominated industry, and her strategies to achieve balance while she's away weeks or months at a time. Kat was born near healing mountain streams in Slovakia and has vivid memories foraging herbs and mushrooms with her grandmother. She left home at 14 to pursue a modeling career, a path that exposed her to world travel and independence at a young age. She fell in love with scuba diving in Bali, and is a waterwoman on a mission to save animals and use her photography and platform for good.
