Studio 1985 lives in a historic mill building in Manchester. Old brick, tall windows and rooms built to look like somewhere else.
We're photographers ourselves, so the sets are made to be lit and shot from every angle. Bring a crew, a band, a podcast or one idea you've been sitting on.
Karen is a self-taught photographer and multidisciplinary artist based in New Hampshire. She has spent years building cinematic worlds that blur the line between dream and reality, using handcrafted sets, wardrobe and props to tell stories that stay with you. Her work mixes the surreal, the nostalgic and the haunting, and that sensibility runs through every room at Studio 1985.
