BIO

A Black neuroscientist and photographer, my goal is to capture unseen angles on landscapes, people, and animals to inspire more people to get out and share in my reverence for nature and life itself.  I believe that the generation of beautiful images can range from a lucky capture of the perfect moment to diligent hours of careful observation. Regardless of the circumstances, I believe the end result should cause some sort of change in the mind of the viewer. I strive to create such images. 

I was born in Houston and grew up around animals which instilled an early love of wildlife. It wasn't until my teens, however, on a trip to Colorado, that I fell in love with landscapes and nature more broadly. After a college stint in Philadelphia where I learned to struggle with street photography, I moved to the Bay Area to pursue advanced neuroscience studies and embrace wild landscapes. It was there that I started my business, Avery Krieger Photography, where my event and portrait work helped hone my skills and subsidize trips and gear to capture the landscape images on this site.
