It’s no secret that I love artists. I’ve made my whole life about being around them, both as a writer and photographer for Rough Draft Atlanta, and also through my work at the Avondale Arts Alliance.

I particularly enjoy visiting artists in their studios and capturing images of them surrounded by their inspiration, tools, and projects. It’s an immersive process that allows me to both show and tell readers more about these artists.

Below are a few of my favorite recent artist portraits for Rough Draft Atlanta. Click the photo if you’d like to read the story and see more pictures, too!
