Shooting from the Hip

Karin & Chrysa* About Us *

Karin uses her vast collection of costumes and her sense of the theatrical to create characters that are simultaneously absurd and familiar. This, along with her alternative outlook on politics and her open-minded view of life help her create photos that will make you laugh...

The use of non-professional models allows Karin to capture their fresh, un-posed expressions and inner alter egos. If it looks like everyone is having a great time, they are! No character can escape satire and Karin evenly lampoons every subject. "Nothing is sacred!" quips Karin, while maintaining, "Laughter is divine!" She thinks it just might save the world if we could laugh at ourselves a whole lot more.


Chrysa is Karin's "right-hand woman" and her sister. She is a meticulous editor and her wit and humor help immensely with the card copy. Her organizational skills help locate whatever is needed during our intense chaotic photo shoots. Sometimes she might even appear as a model in a shoot... See if you can figure out which characters she is!
