Our photography series
Karai produces documentary and cultural series that address the interdependencies between communities and their environment.
A practice built on trust and time
Documentary photography is the foundation from which everything else grows. Each series represents weeks and sometimes months of relationship-building, cultural immersion and patient observation.
01
Long-term presence
We return to the same communities across years. Genuine access requires time and trust that a single visit cannot build.

Ethical representation
Subjects are always consulted and given the dignity they deserve. We never photograph what we are not invited to photograph.

Context before image
Understanding a place deeply, its history, its economy and its tensions, is at the core of our work.

We take on commissioned work for NGOs, institutions and brands, from documentary series in the field to event and corporate reportage. Existing series are also available for editorial licensing, exhibitions and limited fine-art prints.

New expeditions before they are announced, field notes and photo stories. A few emails a year, never more.
