Karen Glaser

Karen Glaser body of work takes us on a journey into a world that we never see. She began photographing manatees and then the underwater habitats of the parts of Florida. Glaser wants to bring her audience to unique views of rare landscapes. She begins to bring the idea of endangered resource in the area that she photographs.


It is vital for Glaser to photograph more in order to represent the true enormity and subtly of my subject. Through her acute attention to how the elements behave in the wet and dry season and how they intersect, She was able to record fleeting moments within these complex ecosystems resulting in elaborately layered photographs.


She loves the idea that the glass of water that we drink on daily bases, is the same water that only 45 minutes this water is from the wild. That you are drinking water that originated in the swamp or river that she has slogged through to make the picture you just view


It is all about the idea of viewing images in a new way, and opening your mind to nature.
