About Kara
Kara Rosenlund is one of Australia’s most collected fine art photographers, celebrated for her nostalgic imagery and defined by her deeply sentimental eye.
Her fine art print collections are shaped by the beauty of the natural world, and she is drawn to the nuances of the Australian bush and the beaches. These experiences inspire her limited edition print collections in her print shop.
Kara's newly opened gallery ushers in a new chapter for her photography. For the first time her work can be experienced in person. Step inside the Brisbane gallery to explore, shop and discover the world of Kara Rosenlund.
