"My favorite shoots are where I can get the girl to get lost within her own mind and let herself go as opposed to just going through the motions."
KARL ROTHENBERGER
In a world in which a cult of personality is built up around so many photographers, Karl Rothenberger is flying under the radar. This is not accidental. Karl is a photographer that is in search of something far more subtle and delicate. He is intent on creating an intimate portrait of his subjects by simply letting them express themselves and stripping away everything else.
Karl lives in New Your City but does travel to LA and to his native Chicago. He is starting to shoot more editorial work where there is more of a narrative thread.
I included Karl in my list of "11 Underrated Photographers You Should Be Following"; he is still underrated and if you are not following him then you are really missing out on deep, intimate and beautiful work.
Karl's main site is here & you can also follow him on tumblr.
Karl sent through this beautiful set of Amelia; I didn't want to get in the way of it with my rambling.
