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 photographyThe value of developing an intimate relationship with locations by revisiting them over and over againThe vast landscape and diverse ecosystems in British ColumbiaHer decisions around opening her own fine art galleryHow she uses her photography to inspire others to respect nature and appreciate it on a deeper levelHer invention of Photolucents ® and other mediums and technologies as novel ways to showcase her imagesHow she uses intuition and balance to find compositionsPhotography as a tool for creating change and as a way of healingNature deficit disorderResponsibilities outdoor photographers have to natureWhy she doesn’t share location information on social mediaAnd so much more!
