Karen Waller is a photographer based in Adelaide, South Australia. It was Karen’s ICM images of agave plants that first caught my eye but digging into her portfolio I found she’s also a fantastic aerial photographer and an accomplished portrait photographer with an amazing and diverse portfolio.

Karen’s creative journey started in childhood when she was encouraged to draw and paint and she went on to gain a degree in Visual Arts. Although photography has become her chosen medium, her work is still informed by the painter within. 

Karen’s courageous curiosity has shaped a photographer who’s work is quite unique and our conversation covers how she discovered ICM photography, how she has been able to use photography to get through difficult times, how she approaches new portrait subjects in the supermarket as well as the stories behind some of her most memorable photographs.
