Kari Post (1985) was born and raised in northern New Jersey, where she developed a love for animals and nature early on. She became fascinated with photography after taking an introductory photography class in high school, and midway through college, after some brief success in sports photojournalism, Kari turned her attention towards photographing her true love, wildlife and the natural world. She now focuses primarily on environmental subjects and images of man interacting with nature. |

Kari's photographs have earned her some recognition, including a spot as a finalist in the 2007 BBC/Shell National Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. Her articles and photos have been published in several online publications and contests including NatureScapes and Open Digital Photography. For a complete list of Kari's published and award winning work, please view her resume.

The quality of Kari's images is made possible by her passion for nature and many hours spent in the field getting to know her subjects. Her desire to preserve and protect natural places and wildlife is what motivates Kari to use her images to educate and inspire others, and has led Kari to develop a strong photography ethic. She is careful not to disturb her subjects and instead, develops a relationship with the subject that allows her to capture intimate images with minimal impact.

In addition to natural history photography, Kari is an avid adventurist and has long loved outdoor recreation and travel. She recently graduated from The College of New Jersey with a degree in health and physical education and currently works at Wildcat Mountain Wilderness Center in Waywayanda State Park (Hewitt, NJ) as a field instructor for Project USE, a non-profit experiential learning and outdoor education organization. There she teaches children and adults alike to enjoy and appreciate nature and develop leadership, communication, and teamwork skills through initiative games, ropes courses, and outdoor activities such as canoeing, rock climbing, hiking, and camping. |
