FINE-ART PHOTOGRAPHER
KAREN KETELS
Hello, I’m Karen (42), passionated professional photographer, in love with all kinds of minimalistic beauty.
I’m intrigued by natures beauty, by movements, macro-details, soft colors, whites, …. and love early music (mediaval, renaissance and baroque).
The largest chambers in my heart are inhabited by my golden retriever Hebe and my godson Klaas.
‘Following your heart’ for me means to be outside with my camera. In the silence of the countryside, the fields, forests, mountains, at sea, in the mud, among animals…
I love to be outside before the break of dawn, in the fields, surrounded by silence, and then freeze the moment to put it on photograph.
With my work I want to make the unseen visible, and let people feel the magnificence of nature. I love to create minimalistic images with an extra touch of beauty.
