What's Inside

Three Chapters, One Way of Seeing

The Gear

Pack light. Limiting your gear expands your creativity – you're forced to find other ways to make the shot work.

The Photographer

Discover what draws your eye and trust your instincts. Improvise, embrace mistakes, and let yourself be surprised by what you find.

The Frame

Work with whatever light you're given, shoot with intent, and get close enough that your story actually comes alive.

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 created the Travel Photography Playbook because I believe you can come home with photos that actually mean something to you, whatever gear you pack. Inside are ten practical mantras for slowing down, being present, and capturing story-driven photos of people and places.
