About the Photographer
KAREN
DOMBROWSKI-SOBEL is a fine art photographer,
who has been honing her craft for over 30 years.
She began as a fine artist, in Buffalo, New York,
and later worked in architecture, as a designer and
then project manager on major commercial projects in
New York City. As a hobby, during her
career in architectural design, she worked at home
each night in the darkroom.
Her first show, "Superimpositions on Nature" in
1982, was a series of superimposed
images produced in the darkroom. In 1990, after
leaving the design field, she
pursued her art work, focusing on nudes, landscapes
and superimposed images. She has had
many one-woman shows on Long Island, and has won
numerous awards with her art
photography.
Dombrovski-Sobel now is available for assignments, such as "José M. Allegue: A Builder's Legacy,"
and does handcolored, home portaits. She can be
contacted at kads24@optonline.net. Her fine art photography is
