Karen Hill, New York Wedding & Fine Art Photographer

Karen, Owner / Principal Photographer

Hi, I’m Karen, Founder and Principal Photographer at Karen Hill Photography. My background in photography is in fine art photography. I went to art school and graduated with a BFA from Pratt Institute and an MFA from the Yale School of Art, both in photography where I learned the history of photography, the practices of amazing photographers and was challenged to make photos that matter and that share my perspective. I do love photography and shooting with film and film cameras. The camera lenses are so much softer and to me, better capture a sense of beauty, romance and those fleeting emotional moments.

I love working with both film and digital cameras, each medium has very strong elements, but I prefer the look of film, I guess it's my first love. To me, it's a matter of really seeing what's in front of me on a deeper, more instinctual level.

My background in photography also includes teaching photography at Columbia University, exhibitions, editorial and private commissions.

In 2008, I married my best friend. I added an important partnership to the studio as well as my personal life with my husband Frank. Together we form a pretty unique working vision.
