With a background in conservation, it is often the ecological detail that intrigues and is equally important as the stunning vistas, along with the depiction of man’s influence on the landscape that captures his imagination. Images will often be composed of abstract form in the landscape, with the aim of evoking emotion and capturing the ambiance of the location. Karl has exhibited widely, most notably at the Joe Cornish Galleries, in Northallerton. Currently in collaboration with Sigma UK and Manfrotto, Karl is providing written articles for Manfrotto's various social media / websites and testing of products. 2015 has been a good year as one of three UK testers of a new Sigma camera and most recently Karl has been short listed for black & white photographer of the year.
