Anthony Karen is a documentary photographer based in New York, specializing in extremism, marginalized religions, and humanitarian causes.
Anthony is perhaps best known for his extensive documentation of white separatist groups, a project that has resulted in two books, exhibitions in Bulgaria, Italy, and the Noorderlicht Festival, and screenings at Visa Pour L'Image in Perpignan, France. His work has been featured in NPR, LIFE, Time, The Washington Post, and Slate. His collaboration with LIFE on Inside the Westboro Baptist Church earned two MIN Editorial Awards, and he received the George A. Robinson IV Foundation Grant and Best of Photojournalism – Cliff Edom’s New America Award in 2011.
Anthony’s documentary contributions include KKK: Beneath the Hood (Discovery Channel, 2013), Imperium (2016 film), and Why Do We Hate (Discovery Channel, produced by Steven Spielberg). In 2023, his white separatist work was incorporated into an academic program at Stockton University and the Kingsborough Holocaust Center. Anthony served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked for many years in the personal protection industry. He has traveled extensively worldwide and has volunteered on numerous international medical missions. His charitable affiliations include Hospice, Smile Train, Surgical Volunteers International, and the Humane Society.
