More about Karen S....

What do you love about your job?

I love that I don't always know what I'm going to get before I enter a shoot situation, even when planned there is a magic that happens that is inexplicable. I love the challenge, the discovery and of course. the collaboration.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

It's all about seeing the things that other people tend to overlook, finding the right details be it the angle of a room, a facial expression or a candid moment. I try to stay out of the way, act as an observer and let the moment unfold unless I'm shooting a portrait, then I try to guide my subject without directing them so things stay as natural as possible. I don't like overly staged or posed photos unless I'm being ironic.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

I have not won any awards for my photography yet.

A fun fact about this photographer

I like to travel and have been to 11 countries so far, some of them twice. I think you truly get to know yourself deep down when you experience other cultures and people.
