The sharing of ideas with fellow Black photographers helps him feel an underlying sense of community even in a field that may feel lonely in times. Karl hopes to contribute back over the course of his career to help to build similar communities for the newest photographers in the industry. "Paying to others is making yourself accessible to others," Karl says. In sharing his experiences as well as his knowledge, Karl hopes to help other creatives become the best that they can be.

In response to a question about what he would suggest to his young self since he's just beginning in photography, Karl's advice is: "Don't get so intense that you stop enjoying making. Being patient and taking part in this process could be among the essential aspects of becoming a photographer."
