WHO is Karson Krause

Karson W. D. Krause is a Photographer, Videographer, Lighting, Creative, and Technical Director in the Digital World based in Tempe, Arizona, born in Mesa, and raised in Chandler.

Krause was given a different perspective on just how powerful capturing memories in time can be in 2020 at Perry High School, where fine arts teacher Mr. Scott Lundahl opened up an entirely new life to explore.

The Canon Rebel T7i was the first camera in his hands, and these days, that habit remains an obsession. Through years of constant dedication, ideas and personal styles were created, evolved, and made a reality, that being KDK Productions.

In any situation, something is always possible. Anything from a spoon dropping on the ground to a knife running through your hand, something is always possible. A self-portrait to me means a lot more than a self-portrait of a face, nothing for the Physical features, but when does the mentality of a human affect the outside world? It can happen in a photo, from the bags under someone’s eyes to the scab that took a while to heal; it all shows time and effort.
