ABOUT
Brandy Menefee's candid photography
captures motion + emotion, energy + essence --
of strangers, performers, scenes, deliciousness, intimate moments, and absurd situations.
Her images have appeared in homes, hair salons, digital platforms, and publications including
Variety, USA Today, O The Oprah Magazine, OK!
Dance Magazine, and Desert Magazine.
Brandy has been taking candids since the 7th grade when her yearbook teacher asked her to document student life.
While working for MTV News, she spent years
visiting LA film & music video sets as the behind-the-scenes crew.
Brandy continued documenting people on sets & stages,
and in the sacred spaces of musicians, chefs, doctors,
storm chasers, war veterans, newlyweds & entertainers.
Brandy's most indelible photo job was
a 4 month stint at Sears Portrait Studio
where she photographed newborns, infants, toddlers, teens,
couples, grandparents, families & real estate agents
from Halloween through the holiday season.
Brilliantly original and perversely-engaging

She sees with her heart -- which Brandy expresses into the most thoughtful, creative, sometimes whimsical, meaningful, loving, inspiring photographs -- and draws us into the presence of so many pieces of life we might not have seen otherwise
