Karine has a rare ability to empathize with her subjects, "... I respect the people I photograph, I see a dignified person in each one of them. Its is so rewarding when they trust me and allow me to take their pictures. I like to get a sense of their condition and emotions before I can capture them so that the viewer will also sense who they are..." Karine has also taken her camera to the streets of Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C. to capture the plight of homeless people on film. As a result, she produced a documentary slide show. Karine's portfolio includes travel pictures, documentary photos and portraits. Her recent trips have been to Iran, Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, London, Paris, Turkey, Italy and Greece.
