Portrait Sitting With Karen Jerzyk
Join Atlas Obscura, Oddities Flea Market and Karen Jerzyk for a special bonus event, part of our Illumination of Wondrous Arts and Curious Crafts weekend curated by Ryan Matthew Cohn.
Step inside a transformative custom scene for your very own stunning photo shoot. Professional photographer Karen Jerzyk has made a name for herself with her iconic set design and haunting imagery. Atlas Obscura, The Oddities Flea Market, and Karen are joining up to offer you this once-in-a-lifetime chance to step inside one of her ethereal worlds and capture a custom piece of artwork, starring yourself.
In a private portrait session with Karen, you will have the opportunity to pose within a surreal dreamscape handcrafted by the artist exclusively for Atlas Obscura and fans of the Oddities Flea Market. Inside Karen's handcrafted portrait box will be a never-before-seen scene, with items collected to accent this unique creation. Photographs will be expertly edited and printed, ensuring that you'll have a stunning photograph like no other to add to your collection of curios.
