I'm Ready to Take That Step

Hi, I'm Karin

your photography mentor

I'm a photographer and photography mentor with 30+ years behind the camera. I've always been drawn to real, unscripted moments – the honest, unposed and unpolished side of life. That's the kind of photographer I am, and it's what I hope to help you become.

I started Photography Playground because most photography education splits technique from creativity, treating technique like the holy grail and creativity like an afterthought – if at all. I teach them together, from the first lesson. The Starter Photography Playbook is where that starts – Program Mode first, then five projects to put it into practice.
