About
Kira Hagen
Traveler, photographer, artist, writer
I’m an American photographer, digital artist, and writer based in Germany. I’ve lived overseas half my life and bring that perspective into all my work. With a background in event and portrait photography, I specialize in capturing emotion, atmosphere, and the untold stories behind every face. My art often blends reality with a touch of the ethereal—whether through photography, digital painting, or storytelling.
Beyond the lens, I’m the author of Strangeling, the first book in the Children of the Broken Dawn series. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where elves have returned from the stars, the novel explores a dystopian future rooted in Celtic and Norse mythology. The story follows Aisling, a half-elven grad student navigating a magic-ravaged Earth, as she and her friends confront mutated beings and unravel the mysteries of their transformed world.
If you’re interested in a portrait session, a custom digital painting, or just a conversation about storytelling and creativity, I’d love to connect!
