Karen Deakin is a landscape and wildlife photographer based in Scotland. Karen Deakin is a landscape and wildlife photographer based near Edinburgh in Scotland.

Completely self-taught, Karen travels extensively within the UK and beyond and has had images published across a wide range of media. "I have been very fortunate to travel to some of the most amazing destinations in the world with my camera," says Karen. "Enjoying both landscape and wildlife photography has given me the great privilege of capturing everything from the Aurora Borealis in the Arctic

Circle to a lion kill in Africa's Masai Mara. Moving between photographic genres has also benefitted my skill set, requiring me to adapt confidently from pre-planned landscape scenes to fast moving and reactive wildlife shoots. This keeps my photography mind stimulated and my images compelling." Karen has received a number of awards and commendations over recent years, including 3rd place in the CEPIC Global Stock Photography Awards, Runner Up in the Sea & Coast category of the Scottish Nature Photography Awards, and a number of commendations in The UK Landscape Photographer of the Year and Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year competitions.

The chaos of Diamond Beach, Iceland. The ice breaks off from the nearly Jökulsárlón glacier and floats out to sea, to be washed back up onto the beach by the power of the waves. The beach was crammed full of ice on the day we were there, and I found it challenging to photograph due to having to dodge waves, but wow, what a place.
