Kathleen T. Carr

Kathleen T. Carr is a professional and fine art photographer, teacher, author, and a former Polaroid Creative Uses Consultant. She received a B.F.A. (cum laude) in Photography from Ohio University in 1970, and then studied extensively with Minor White and worked for Aperture. Her award-winning work has been exhibited internationally, purchased for private collections, and has appeared in numerous books and periodicals. Her three books are Polaroid Transfers; Polaroid Manipulations (Amphoto Books 1997 & 2002), and To Honor the Earth (Harper San Francisco, 1991). Selected periodicals include Outdoor Photographer (featured artist), National Geographic Traveler, Islands, Decor, (featured artist), Photo Vision, (featured artist), Esquire, Art of Northern California and American Art Collector. Kathleen was a staff photographer at the Findhorn Foundation, Scotland, and Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA during the ‘70s and ‘80s. At Findhorn she was the photographer and photo editor for the books The Findhorn Garden, Faces of Findhorn (Harper & Row, 1975, 1980) and The Findhorn Family Cookbook (Shambhala, 1981). Kathleen received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in 1991.
She has resided in the Captain Cook area of Hawaii since 2006, and her current passions are black and white digital infrared, photographing and filming underwater, and the digital darkroom. In 2014 she released a 28-minute DVD, Whale Journey: Connecting with the Humpback Whales.

“Kathleen’s pictures, with their multiple layers of image and meaning, are also exquisite evocations of life, nature, and the human form. Often her pictures are ethereal journeys to places of beauty. She may take us on a walk through her neighborhood, a hike into the woods, or on a distant voyage. Kathleen’s pictures are intimate interactions, quiet conversations shared.” --Jim Alinder, author, gallery owner and noted authority on fine art photography
