Photomanipulation nominee

I often wonder if I photograph my subjects for what they are - or for what else they are. Sometimes I like to find out - and actually create that "something extra" that makes us wonder... "Is is real? Or isn't it?".

Reality. It's always good wonder about that one.
Especially when standing in a magical forest in France.

American photographer Karen Hutton has spent a lifetime with a camera in her hands. Visions she experienced as a child sparked a lifetime fascination with the transformational quality of light, both visually and spiritually; a quality that radiates from her work. Beyond composition, she seeks to capture an expression of spirit and soul contained by her subjects in the natural world.

She is a photographer, artist, educator, author, speaker whose topics often include “Finding Your Artistic Voice” and “the Power of Awe” and is a Professional Fujifilm X-Photographer.

Her work has appeared in exhibitions and installations in Tokyo, San Francisco, New York City, Mountain View and Lake Tahoe, CA.
