October Speaker Meeting Wednesday, October 11, at 7 pm Street Photography with Karen Commings
Karen Commings is a photographer from Harrisburg, PA. She’s had cameras since the age of ten but didn’t become serious about photography until she purchased her first digital camera and joined a local camera club in 2012. Commings considers herself a street/documentary photographer although she tackles other subjects when the spirit or opportunity moves her. Although Commings processes her images in her home office, she considers her studio the street and, pre-pandemic, travelled to New York City as well as other places of interest several times a year.
Commings shoots handheld with a Fuji Xt1, Xt3 or X100s. She is the featured photographer for the October issue of Street Photography Magazine and her photographs have appeared in The Photo Review, Street Sweeper and Black & White magazines as well as galleries in Pennsylvania, New York City, Texas, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri, Maryland, Vermont, California and South Carolina. She was accepted into Pennsylvania Art of the State six times and received an honorable mention from the 12th Annual Julia Margaret Cameron competition for her carnival project and in 2019 was one of 30 short-listed nominees from the International Women in Photo Association for that series as well. Her carnival photos were exhibited at the Delaplaine in 2019.
