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

My photography journey started in 2011 while a student at the University of Texas. While applying to the art program, my father gave me his used Canon 5D. It was love at first sight.


I spent the next 10 years with camera in hand, documenting Austin's underground music scene.


Those nights capturing performers and fans at iconic venues like Red 7, Emo's, and Mohawk taught me invaluable lessons. I learned how to get the shot no matter what, how to work quickly under pressure and how to help people feel comfortable in front of my camera.


Then COVID changed everything and that unexpected break gave me clarity on what to create next. I decided to start Madison Avery Studio, an executive photography studio helping executives and entrepreneurs show up confidently in an increasingly digital world.


As I look back at my body of work, I find myself returning to the same themes over and over again. These include documenting the now for later, helping people present themselves as they want to be seen and creating art that makes the world a more interesting place.


If you're looking to create timeless art that won't look dated in 5 or 10 years, then let's talk.
