Karen Keating is an integral member of the Washington, D.C. photography community. After receiving an M.F.A. in photography in 1986, Karen became director of the creative education program for photography at Glen Echo Park.

For the past twelve years she has taught in the photography studio at The Field School, a small independent high school in northwest Washington, D.C.

Karen's love of photography stems from the documentary/street photography genre. Using available light, black and white medium format film and two cameras -the Hasselblad and the plastic "toy" Holga - Karen observes the everyday rituals and routines of people in foreign countries. These "street portraits" are the foundation of her portfolios from Bulgaria, Africa, Honduras and most recently, Cuba.

Karen Keating is represented in the Greater Washington area by the Multiple Exposures Gallery, located in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town Alexandria.
