Clearwater Couple Travels to 85 Countries to Produce a Spectacular Photo Book

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Clearwater, FL – January 16, 2026 – Clearwater residents Ben Willmore and Karen Willmore—a husband-and-wife team of photographer, author, and educator Ben, and passionate photographer and dedicated yogi Karen—today announced the upcoming release of their debut coffee-table photo book, The World Is My Yoga Mat.
What started as a spontaneous iPhone snapshot of Karen in a yoga pose in front of a temple has blossomed into an extraordinary collection of more than 1,000 images captured across 85 countries on all seven continents. The book celebrates the intersection of travel, photography, and yoga, transforming both iconic landmarks and everyday scenes into fresh, captivating works of art.
Ben Willmore is a renowned digital imaging expert, Photoshop Hall of Famer, and author of numerous bestselling books on photography and editing. Since 2013, he has taught photography workshops aboard luxury cruise ships, inspiring students from around the world. Karen Willmore brings more than 15 years of yoga practice to the project, along with her own passion for photography.
The result is a premium hardcover book designed to grace coffee tables and inspire readers to see the world—and yoga—through new eyes.
To fund the high-quality offset printing required for the book, Ben and Karen have launched a Kickstarter campaign. Backers can pre-order the book through rewards on the campaign page. For more information, visit the Kickstarter project page or the project web site listed below.
