"I have chosen to photograph nature because I greatly love and respect nature, because to me every creature is beautiful, everything natural has a story, and every area and thing man has not touched and had no part in creating is just a little more mysterious and awe inspiring than the rest of the world I know. My goal as a nature photographer is to capture the beauty and essence of the natural world, to share its wonder and mystery with others." -- Kari Post

Kari Post (1985) was born and raised in New Jersey (USA), 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 is currently a senior at The College of New Jersey majoring in health and physical education. She hopes to continue to pursue photography while teaching, and plans to use her summers off to travel and photograph nature around the world.
