KARMAN KRUSCHKE BIO

Welcome …

I've had a camera in my grip since I was a kid. I started shooting professionally in 1996 and I've been a make-up artist/hair stylist, since 1988. (see resume')

In make-up, I've worked on commercials, films, T.V., print ads, celebs, but predominately -- with many well known photographers shooting actors. As a photograper, 90% of the time I do actors headshots and ¾ shots too (color and black & white film). I also shoot child actors, families (during holidays) and people with their animals. Yes, I'm an animal lover ...

My studio is at my home, in my backyard, which lends itself to a very peaceful and conducive environment, enabling you to not only feel free to express yourself, but also allowing us the privacy to concentrate and to work one on one …

We are all individuals and so I approach each shoot according to who you are.

Hanging on the wall of my studio is a quote from the dancer Martha Graham. In short … "There is only one of you in all of time and your expression as an artist is unique. If you block it, it will never exist, so keep it clearly and directly yours and keep the channels open ..."

Photography is not just my job -- but my life. It's my expression … and how I capture you is just as vital to me as it should be to you …

I look forward to speaking with you ...
