Bradicoal Studio is a fusion of breath and body, inspired by the way coal—something raw and unrefined—transforms under pressure into something radiant. That’s what I aim to do with my photography: capture the raw, the real, and the beautifully becoming.

I’m Brittany Radford—photographer, justice-seeker, and storyteller at heart. A Cleveland native turned Minnesotan. But before all of this, I was just a kid drawn to the magic of moments—the way a single frame can hold power, history, and emotion all at once.

Bradicoal Studio isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about creating space. Space where Black joy is honored, where identity is celebrated, and where you get to see yourself fully, without apology. Whether it’s branding photography that amplifies your business, creative headshots, or documentary-style work that speaks truth, my goal is simple: to help you feel seen.

I’m here for the bold, the brave, and the beautifully human—for the ones who refuse to fit into a box and who believe their story is worth telling. If that sounds like you, then you’re in the right place. Let’s create something dope together.

If I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably deep in a book, writing poetry, or exploring Minneapolis with my lens.

If you're ready to capture your essence, tell your story, and create something powerful, let’s talk. Bradicoal Studio is prepared for the adventure.
