About Karen Images & Metro Productions
Commercial photography, video and production built on nearly three decades of experience.
KAREN + TROY
Three Decades of Creativity

Karen Burns
Master Photographer
Director of Photography
Karen and Troy Burns have worked together in commercial photography and production since 1997, building Karen Images and Metro Productions around a shared belief that great creative work begins with understanding the story.
Over nearly three decades, their work has evolved from commercial photography into a broader production partnership encompassing photography, cinematic video, professional audio, aerial imaging and event production.
Today, they bring that experience to every assignment, combining creative direction, technical expertise and the ability to manage complex productions from the first conversation through final delivery.

Built For The Assignment
Nearly three decades in commercial photography and production have taught us that every assignment is different. The right team, the right preparation and the ability to adapt matter just as much as what happens behind the camera.
Karen Images and Metro Productions bring together experienced photographers, cinematographers, audio professionals and production specialists based on the needs of each project. That gives our clients access to broader production capabilities while maintaining a single, coordinated creative team from planning through delivery.
Whether the assignment calls for commercial photography, cinematic video, professional audio, aerial imaging or event production, we build the production around the story you need to tell.
ATLANTA • GEORGIA • WORLDWIDE
Atlanta Based – Built to Work Anywhere
Atlanta has been home to Karen Images and Metro Productions for nearly three decades, placing us in the center of one of the country’s most active commercial, corporate and production markets.
From corporate headquarters and architectural projects to national conferences, advertising campaigns and live events, our work has taken us into offices, manufacturing environments, hospitality spaces, construction sites, studios and venues throughout Atlanta and beyond.
That experience has taught us how to walk into unfamiliar environments, understand the assignment quickly and work effectively alongside executives, employees, agencies, architects, designers, event teams and other production partners.
While Atlanta is home, the work is not limited by geography. We travel throughout Georgia, across the United States and worldwide when the assignment requires it.
Local Knowledge. Production Experience. National Reach.
One creative and production partner from Atlanta to wherever your story takes us.
