Karen Harvey
Founder, Creative Director
Karen is the Creative Director of Shutter Hub, which she founded to create a supportive community for photographers and to provide a platform for the development of ideas and careers. She’s always busy behind the scenes, working on funding, developing partnerships with other organisations, and planning and producing our exhibitions.
Karen is a photographer, writer and consultant who has curated exhibitions internationally and won awards for photography, writing and community development, whilst specialising in projects with museums and galleries and working on documentary projects for organisations such as The National Archive and English Heritage. She is currently travelling a lot on photography and writing commissions and developing a new charity, the Toiletries Amnesty.
Aside from loving what photography can do, Karen likes driving fast cars, chasing chickens and cats, sharing stories on her blog, drinks with ginger in them and eating too many biscuits.
