Bethany Mollenkof is a photographer and director whose work explores motherhood, gender, identity, and representation through intimate, human-centered stories. Raised off the grid in Kenya as the middle of five kids, she learned to see the world with curiosity, empathy, and imagination. This perspective has shaped her work to be both measured and intuitive, thoughtful and real. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Time Magazine, Vice, National Geographic, and Wired, with advertising clients including Nike, Apple, Adidas, Airbnb, Advil, Google, Mercedes-Benz, and American Express.
She studied Photojournalism and Art History at Western Kentucky University and previously worked at The Los Angeles Times.
