About

Hi there! My name is Kylie Garner – portrait photographer, journalist, creative, social media addict and superstar mum. 

AIPP Professional Accredited Photographer – Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast & Beyond

The camera, to me, is simply a means of self-expression. I create images for myself to find the beauty in the ordinary, interpret the world around me and understand my place in it.

I see harmony when others see chaos.

I use photography to explore urban and natural landscapes to study how we engage with these environments.

The subjects I am drawn to often have a sense of whimsy and character.

When capturing people, I enjoy candid moments revealing who they are and the stories that may not always be obvious.
