Photography with Karen M.

I am a professional photographer and artist. I have been exhibiting my work since 2003 and teaching since 2005. I have exhibited widely among places The Portrait gallery at the Smithsonian museum in Washington, DC, Queens museum, I have participated in the Musee Quai du Branly biennial and received their artist in residence fellowship in 2017. I have participated in 2 NYT portfolio reviews, fotofest in Houston, in the 3rd Latin American forum in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I had a solo show at Yoshinaga gallery in NYC in 2018, a book of my work was published by Autograph ABP, and have been nominated for awards such as Prix Pictet, 2019, Greenpeace 2017. This year my photograph is the cover image of UNESCO year of Indigenous Languages. My work is often featured in the NYT. I also am a senior photo reviewer for a prestigious magazine. As a teacher I teach how to see, how to understand what surrounds us and how to capture that through the camera. I am interested in teaching students how to see the world through the lens of photography but also how to incorporate other media as painting, video, performance, sculpture and so on. In the first class we will look at your work, and you will receive a review from me and what are the places of strength and what can be improved. From this initial review I will cater the following classes to suit your needs.
