/about

Karl Dixon is a New Orleans-based photographer working primarily with medium-format film. Originally from Alexandria, Louisiana, he is currently pursuing his studies in Studio Art at Tulane University.

Dixon’s photographic practice explores the tension between human-made objects and the natural world. By actively seeking out abandoned or peripheral landscapes, he constructs deliberate scenes using discarded artifacts. Through techniques such as long exposures, in-camera double exposures, and controlled spotlights, his work transforms ordinary objects into physical thresholds to the unknown, capturing the raw mystery that remains when human control slips away.

His photographs have been exhibited both regionally and nationally. He recently received an Honorable Mention in the Texas Photographic Society’s New Visions 2026 online exhibition and was included in a presentation by the Tulane Environmental Law Summit. His work was also featured in the year-long showcase Endnotes: An Exhibition of Student Photography at the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, and his image Path to Redemption was awarded third place in the Alexandria Museum of Art’s 38th Annual September Competition.
