In our digital-first world, visibility is everything – it opens doors, creates instant recognition, and builds trust with colleagues and clients alike. Authentic personal brand images become your visual superpower, letting you stand out in an increasingly AI-driven landscape. When you show up with magnetic energy and strategic intention, you become the unforgettable face of your brand. You become the icon they can’t ignore.

Hi! I'm Madison Avery Somerville, founder and lead photographer at MAS.

My photography journey started in 2011 while a student at the University of Texas. I was in the process of applying to the art program when my dad gave me his used Canon 5D. Talk about love at first sight. I proceeded to take a deep dive into Austin's underground music scene, armed only with my camera and a flash.


Those nights capturing performers and attendees at iconic venues like Red 7, Emo's, and Mohawk taught me something invaluable: how to help people feel comfortable being seen.


Then COVID changed everything, and that unexpected break gave me clarity on what to create next. Now, I own Madison Avery Studio, where we help executives and entrepreneurs show up confidently in an increasingly digital world.


I often draw on those lessons from music venues – making people comfortable, capturing authentic moments, and telling visual stories that matter. Because here's the truth: we’re creating more than mere photographs. Together, we’ll create images that help you be seen authentically in a digital world. And in business, that makes all the difference
