Karen Abad is an adventuneer and director of photography who likes to collect and preserve moving images. Previously interested in psychology and film theory, her exploration into cinematography began the moment she first operated an Arri 16BL. “Something about the sound of film rolling through the camera and capturing the perfect motion and lighting felt just right,” she says. Karen uses the camera to tell short narrative stories based on life’s whimsical moments. Her work includes several short films, music videos for New Buffalo and Broken Social Scene, and collaboration with Photojojo, Mission Bicycle, and many others.
