Karli Harris
Karli discovered photography after taking a basic digital photography course and quickly fell in love with the medium’s blend of technical precision and artistic expression. Drawing on years of experience as a studio artist specializing in oil painting, I bring a strong foundation in composition, lighting, and visual storytelling to my work in portrait, fine art, and still life photography. Over the past three years, I have refined both my photographic process and post-production workflow, with extensive experience using Adobe Creative Suite tools including Photoshop, Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Adobe Bridge to edit, retouch, and manage images efficiently and creatively.
