Warren Brunner was born on March 19, 1928, in Cumberland, Wisconsin, United States. He is the son of Edmund Brunner, a druggist, and Helen Turnquist, a teacher.
Warren attended the Winona Institute of Photography.
A native of Wisconsin, Brunner took his first photography job at age sixteen with the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram. He moved to Berea in 1954 to operate a photography studio owned by Mrs. Mattson, which he then took ownership of in 1960. Brunner has lived and worked in Berea ever since, dividing his time between the family photography studio and his travels documenting life in the farther Appalachian region. Brunner’s wife Patricia, an artist and native of Western North Carolina, accompanied him on his travels and the couple approach photography as a team effort.
Known for the cultural sensitivity reflected in his photographs and his personal commitment to the Appalachian people, Brunner has worked with over thirty government and nonprofit agencies, including the Save the Children Federation, Christian Appalachian Project, Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen, Appalachia Science In The Public Interest, the Hindman Settlement School, the Council of Southern Mountains, the Mountain Association for Community Economic Development, the Sierra Club, and Kentuckians For The Commonwealth. Brunner has collaborated with numerous Appalachian scholars and activists including Al Fritsch, Deborah Vansau McCauley, Marie Cirillo, Cratis Williams, Gurney Norman, Bob Gates, Loyal Jones and Tom Boyd.
Warren and Pat Brunner still live in Berea and are organizing their collection of photos for publications and posterity. Warren continues to travel in the mountains and photograph community life. The Brunners volunteer at the family photography studio, now owned and operated by their daughter Kara Beth Brunner, when needed.
