Karen ReVelle Photography

Photography – Orange County

I had my first art featured at Laguna Art Museum at age 6, and i got my first film SLR (a Pentax!) from my mom when I was 13 (and I still have it)! I took photography classes in college and learned traditional black and white photography darkroom techniques (although I was a creative communications major!) I have an extensive background in traditional art (painting and drawing, as well as computer graphics), and have also had several years of professional makeup artistry training, all of which have helped me achieve an eye for perfection and beauty in not only capturing a photo, but in retouching. I\'m also currently a professional graphic artist with years of experience in the female retail clothing business (including photo retouching and design/layout), the car industry, medical advertising, the mobile phone/tech field and the beauty industry. I\'ve created art & photography all of these since 1999. diverse, right? ;) inherently, i feel all of these different disciplines within the field of art have helped me to appreciate and refine my artistic eye. I have a thirst for knowledge and continually strive to learn new techniques. my 20 years of professional dance training (including while pursuing a theatre major at UCLA and also at CSUF), years of retail sales experience (loved working in music stores — what ARE those?!) and just being a big-time people person is what has helped me get the best photos from people! What\'s better than people-watching?!
