I am a husband, father, pediatric dentist, university professor, and photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. My photography and digital art has been featured internationally by Apple, Adobe Lightroom, Street Photography International, FUJILOVE Magazine, Fisheye Magazine, The Phoblographer, and many others.

I share my photography, digital art, and creative writing with a global audience via @jeffreymkarp on Instagram and through my Adobe Lightroom Discover profile. In 2020, I co-founded an international photography collective called Stolen Echoes.

I enjoy teaching others about my approach to photography. I have 20 years of teaching and public speaking experience as a training director, teacher, and a national leader in interprofessional health education initiatives. I welcome the opportunity to lead workshops, teach individual and group seminars, conduct portfolio reviews, and facilitate small group coaching calls. I can be reached via email or direct message on Instagram if you would like to collaborate on your next project.
