About Artist

Karo Luminara

Hi, I'm Karo. I am an engineer and a humanist. Taking photos has brought me joy since childhood. I am fascinated by the process of combining complex technique with my unique artistic expression and interpretation. Photography is my passion and an essential part of me. I cannot imagine life without art and looking through pictures. Mindful photography teaches me to notice beauty in small things and within myself. It is like therapy for me, a balm for my soul. I hope that through my art, I can inspire you to illuminate the (un)seen beauty not only around you, but especially within yourself.
