Kara Brodgesell is a photographer and videographer known for lifestyle, story-driven and on-location shooting.

She graduated from Wesleyan University with a dual-major in Fine Art Photography and English, a 1-2 humanities punch that she has been cultivating for most of her life. She worked in fashion photography in New York City before moving to San Francisco in 2011, because it is here that she's offered rides on prototype electric bikes, composting is mandatory, and coastal hikes and farm-to-table meals are commonplace.

Her work highlights her love for visual storytelling and she is most excited when she is outside or learning something new.
While based in Berkeley, CA, she will happily work wherever she's asked.

Her corporate clients include: Adaptive Path, Ariel Gordon Jewelry, Atlassian, Bare Escentuals, Book Society, BRYR, Condé Nast Traveler China, Dodo Banana, Dropbox, Emeritus Vineyards, Facebook, Fast Company, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Frank & Eileen, Gray Market Design, Ilk Outerwear, Ink Paper Plate Press, In Good Company, Intercom, Kitchen Doula, MARCHÉ, Mother Magazine, Minted, Remodelista, Say Media, SPUR, Third Love, Triple Aught Design, and The Workshop Residence.
