I am Karin and I have lived in Haarlem since 2016, together with my husband.
My love for photography was there from an early age, my grandfather also photographed and I got my first (analogue) camera at an early age.
Later, I completed the Fotovakschool in Amsterdam to learn the basics and technique of photography.
This way of photographing came about when I was asked to exhibit during the 'Kunstlijn' in Haarlem. At that time, I was mainly a portrait photographer and that was not really the work you show during an art exhibition. And so I decided to give my 'personal' photos a chance.
I actually made these nature photos purely for myself (as a kind of outlet) but I thought, 'why not!' It was such a great success that I decided to share my love for nature.
My work is mostly dark, I find it adds to the mysterious atmosphere and it allows me to emphasise even more the beautiful details and textures nature gives us.
