Timeless photography crafted for design excellence


Who I Am

I’m Karen Palmer, an architectural and interior photographer with over 15 years of experience working with discerning creatives in the design, hospitality, and publishing industries.

My Approach

My work is rooted in detail-driven storytelling, clean composition, and balanced light. The result is imagery that is editorial in quality and timeless in style — photographs that hold up for years to come, rather than chasing fleeting trends.

Who I Work With

I collaborate with designers, architects, and publishers who recognize that photography is more than documentation — it’s an extension of their vision. My clients value images that not only showcase their work but also serve their professional goals: portfolios, award submissions, press features, and marketing campaigns.

Why It Matters

I believe photography should support design excellence. My images are crafted to highlight both the detail and character of each project, ensuring your work is represented with artistry, precision, and lasting value.
