"We are professional problem-solvers. It is a must in this industry, especially when dealing with the fluidity and transient nature of water.
Things never go 'right', but to make this manageable, one must change their understanding of the word 'right'. There is no right or left, up or down, salted or unsalted. Instead it is everywhere and nowhere, thus allowing a system of thought that is based in flexibility.
Let go and go with the flow."

"Knock down those four walls and find yourself in an adventure; an experience in light, sound, ambience and character. It is an adventure in spirit; letting the wind carry you, letting the waters wash over you. It is an expression of Nature's art and wherever you might find yourself within it; a true artform of surrender."

"Seeing is believing. I know in my older years I will be that armchair traveler, gripped to the greatest stories of adventure, discovery, and a global understanding of our human condition.
But while my eyes, ears, hands and legs function appropriately, I will choose the path of the explorer - one who traverses the often arduous timezones in search of the unknown with nothing but the clothes on my back, a piece of paper and pen, and a camera to record."
Cameron Karsten is represented by The Gren Group.

"People make to supply their need for survival. People also produce to feed their creativity or drive to do. Being out in the field, hearing the contrasting sounds of nature and humanity's creations is that crux between doing to survive or doing to create.
It is the blending of two forces - need and desire, nature and human."
Cameron Karsten is represented by The Gren Group.

"It takes determination, strength and grit to work in a shop or out in the fields. At any moment, something could go wrong. There needs to be an awareness of how things look, sound and feel. It is the same with photography; an absolute awareness of the senses."

"I'm teaching my youngest daughter what it means to 'read the room'. She loves to make people laugh and smile, but often she attempts to without knowing her audience. Creating photos of people, whether portraits or lifestyle imagery, is similar. You have to connect. You have to understand and read the scene."

"It is the natural instinct of humanity to want to make. We are engineered to produce to an unlimited capacity, fueled by a desire for better, smarter... for more. Without this movement forward, society would have little purpose and ultimately collapse. We are makers and subsequently destroyers."

Cameron Karsten makes the small, large; the grand, minuscule. When taking in a scene he looks for light and shadow, foreground and background. And placing talent within the field, he makes something ordinary extraordinary.
However, there is a simplicity; the basics of humanity interacting with nature, and everything's placement within the symmetry of design.

"The core of photography is to see people and places for exactly what they are. It is the definition of authenticity. "
Cameron Karsten takes this to heart when creating portraits or lifestyle imagery for his clients. He connects with the talent, immerses himself in the moment, and lets the creative freewill of the atmosphere run its course. A tweak here, an input there, but all-in-all it is expression with natural tendencies.

Seattle - California: Cameron Karsten Photography
To see people within their environment is a glimpse into other's lives, passions and professions: as a photographer / director, Cameron Karsten thrives within these situations, looking at a space and visualising each angle, leading line, and structural foreground and supporting background.
Every person and their place has the elements to work with, whether it is the grit of the earth of an industry, or the clean air of a corporate office. Add or take away light for a striking complexity of hard shadows or softening highlights.
