About Us

Natural Images Photography features the work of Karen Williamson, an Albany, New York based photographer specializing in the outdoors, especially nature and landscapes.

Her work has won a number of awards and been published in various publications, including the Conservationist magazine, U. S. News and World Report , local tourist guides and books by the  Adirondack Mountain Club  and US Department of Agriculture.

Karen's work has been selected for a number of local and regional exhibitions, including Adirondack Women...in art, in story, in song at the Arts Center/Old Forge; Agricultural Cathedrals at the Mill Cottage Gallery in Rensselaerville; the Mountain Lake Collection in Plattsburg; the WMHT Art Auction, and a solo exhibition at the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts in Blue Mountain Lake.

Karen is a graduate of Syracuse University, where she majored in Photojournalism at the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and minored in Environmental Studies at the New York State College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Karen also holds a Master's Degree in Communications Photography from Syracuse University.

Although trained as a photojournalist (with experience in studio photography), Karen has always loved the outdoors and canoeing, camping, hiking and cross-country skiing. Most of her work is produced as part of these activities. Karen's vision as a photographer is to capture the peace, tranquility and often-hidden beauties of nature in her photographs. As a conservationist, she hopes these images inspire others to appreciate and care for our wild and natural places.
