Karen will be discussing her experiences with clients including Bon Jovi and Oasis, and giving the lowdown on what it was like touring with the Scissor Sisters and Robbie Williams. More recently Karen had the chance to photograph Scotty Moore, Elvis Presley’s guitarist, friend and first manager. However Karen prides herself on paying as much attention to unsigned bands as she does established, big named artists and is passionate about promoting local talent. Much of her work revolves around capturing the atmosphere of gigs and the results are intoxicating, distinctive images, revealed on 35 mm black and white film. She captures the drama, the raw energy and the magic of little known artists.
The greenroom exhibits a selection of Karen’s work in the bar throughout October
