ABOUT THE WINNER:
Karen I. Hirsch is an award-winning commercial, editorial and fine art photographer based in Chicago, Illinois. She “tells the story” with her editorial images and her sense of graphic design and awareness of color and composition carries over to her fine art creations. She makes abstract images with her camera as well as through digital interpretation in the computer.
In 2003, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs asked Hirsch to do a one-woman show at the Richard J. Daley Civic Center in honor of Chicago’s “birthday.”
Hirsch’s photos are found in corporate and private collections.
Hirsch is a member of the American Society of Media Photographers and immediate past president of Fort Dearborn-Chicago Photo Forum
