Hi, I am Kate Harnedy.
I’m an Oregon based portrait and documentary photographer versed with both modern digital and traditional analogue processes. My photographs explore identity, place, creativity and connection. Infinitely curious, I’m intrigued by the relationships between people, communities, and the natural world. I approach subjects with empathy and integrity. I believe strong photographs, individually and in series, hold great potential for personal and community empowerment, healing, promotion and transformation.
I look forward to talking with you more about how I may help create compelling photographs for your personal and business needs, while making it fun in the process!
