Snapshot: I'm an award-winning travel photojournalist, based in Brisbane and specialising in underwater, nature-based, luxury, and active adventures. My outlets include a range of Australian and US publications, and I can supply high-res underwater and land-based images and video with my stories. I was the winner of the Best Travel Photo category in the ASTW’s 2017 Awards for Excellence; a finalist in 2014 and 2015 for the ASTW’s Travel Photographer of the Year; and the winner of the 2014 Diver(s) category of the Cairns Underwater Film Festival. A few of my most memorable travel experiences have included meeting my husband while trekking in Nepal; exploring Indonesia's dive sites from the comfort of a superyacht; and cycling the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina. And, as a passionate underwater photographer, I love exploring Australia's sublime underwater world. For more information, visit www.karamurphyimages.com.
