We’re really pleased that back by popular demand, our very own Karen Harvey, Shutter Hub Creative Director will be holding Surgeries in May! You can book a video call appointment with Karen on Tuesday 18 May 2021.

Ask Karen anything! Want to talk about exhibitions? Great. Got a question about Shutter Hub? Fire away. Karen’s more than happy to talk about all things photography, business, or cats. 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 develops partnerships and projects, and produces most of our exhibitions.

“My most recent surgery session (with Karen) was hands down the most productive 20 minutes of my year thus far! The great about these sessions is they’re specifically designed around your needs – it’s all about you, your work, your practice and your needs. If I’m feeling stuck or would like feedback on a project or if I’m in need of a little inspiration, a surgery session can help get you back on track.” – Sonia Levesque
