Right from the start, Kara Rosenlund has always been a photographer at heart. "Growing up in Brisbane as a child, I was always photographing my pet chickens and dog, and framing up shots with my parents' Polaroid camera - which never had film in it!" she says. "I just loved seeing life through the viewfinder."
This creative spirit continued to grow in adulthood, with Kara packing her bags to study photography in Toowoomba - an experience that left a deep and lasting imprint on her. It offered up a captivating slice of country life on the edge of Queensland's gateway to the west, instilling a profound appreciation of raw bush landscapes and ways of simply being'. "It really made me the photographer I am today," she says fondly.
