A good way to learn ABOUT me
is to look at my PHOTO ALBUM.

I’m Karin, a Westchester County and NYC-based photographer, writer, and director specializing in performing arts photography, with a focus on theatre and dance. I specialize in telling the story of the show from every perspective, from table read to tech week. Rehearsal is a time when multiple narratives take shape, and theater kids of all ages know there’s drama everywhere: the stage left quick-change; the line you always forget; and that time the fog machine set off the fire alarm. There’s no memories like show memories! I capture backstage intricacies and the exuberance of performance; these memories are vital touchstones that we carry with us throughout our lives. Photographs allow us to go back and relive those moments.

Through the years, I have had  the immense privilege of being Staff Photographer at the Lark Play Development Center in New York City, as well as at Golding Academy of Movement and Dance; my work has appeared in American Theatre, BroadwayWorld, and on the cover of Irish Dancing Magazine; and I have photographed such theatre luminaries as Tina Howe, Dominique Morisseau, Sarah Ruhl, Graciela Daniele, and Michael John LaChiusa.

Additionally, I am a proud member of Actors’ Equity, SAG-AFTRA, the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, and the Dramatists Guild.

This is me directing a movie. This adorable fairy is about to deliver an 8 1/2 scoop ice cream cone to the film's antagonist and then lead him through a Fellini-esque version of Italy until he comes to his senses.

This is me as Kate and my husband as Petruchio, in our 3-human, 33-puppet version of The Taming of the Shrew. My husband painted that awesome backdrop!

This is another day of filming. Just out of frame are two window installers juggling rubber chickens.
