Karin was born in The Netherlands in 1972. Her brother persuaded her to join him on a divecourse in 1997. Like she once said “I’ll never go diving” she also said “I’ll never start with underwaterphotography, much to difficult for me”….

After a while diving turned out to be the most passionate leisure interests she’d ever experienced. After discovering the beauty of the marine life, the step towards underwater photography was easily taken. She simply felt the urge showing the rest of the world the flora and fauna she met on her diving trips, abroad and in her home country, The Netherlands.
In 2003 Karin took a camera with her on one of her dives for the first time. Now, a few years later her work is regularly published in many divemagazines all over the world (Duikmagazine, Unterwasser, Asian Diver, Dive New Zealand, Scuba Diver Magazine, Wielki Blekit, etc.). As one can conclude Karin developed herself from amateur to a semi-pro photographer with a great talent for composition and an everlasting persistence for taking the perfect picture. Her enthusiasm, style and talent did not stay unremarked in The Netherlands. Dos Winkel, the famous Dutch underwater photographer, adopted her as his protégé.
Once, an article stated that Karins enthusiasm is her power. Karin says that underwater photography just brings her a lot of fun. You can’t only see this in her pictures, but also in de workshops she gives and in the articles she writes.
