It all started with a love of football. Avrien grew up in a football family with a stepdad who both played professionally in Germany, and coached professional arena football, college football, and high school football in America. Avrien’s love for sports expanded in high school as they played basketball, ran cross country, and participated in track and field. Fast-forward to their mid-twenties when they discovered that they are happiest with a camera in their hands. Jump ahead to their early thirties when they get connected with a women’s professional tackle football team. Put two and two together, and you’re all caught up!
Avrien is honored to have the opportunity to capture and share the intensity, passion, and raw emotion of various sports. Their favorites include football, kickball, and basketball, but any sport will do. Their goal is to create images that put viewers right there in the action. When Avrien isn’t behind a camera, you can find them chasing their toddler, hiking, cooking, or camping (and sometimes all four at the same time!)
Avrien is currently based in the Tampa, FL area. They are a self-taught freelance photographer (shout out to YouTube University), inspired by the athletes they photograph. Avrien enjoys making athletes look powerful while they push their sport to the limit.
