Episode 25: Today, I sit down with Vancouver-based landscape photographer, Karen Cooper, to chat about:
- How walking in nature as a form of physical therapy led her into nature photography
- The value of developing an intimate relationship with locations by revisiting them over and over again
- The vast landscape and diverse ecosystems in British Columbia
- Her decisions around opening her own fine art gallery
- How she uses her photography to inspire others to respect nature and appreciate it on a deeper level
- Her invention of Photolucents ® and other mediums and technologies as novel ways to showcase her images
- How she uses intuition and balance to find compositions
- Photography as a tool for creating change and as a way of healing
- Nature deficit disorder
- Responsibilities outdoor photographers have to nature
- Why she doesn’t share location information on social media
- And so much more!
