ABOUT | Athel Rogers

ATHEL ROGERS

To me, photography is more than just capturing an image; it's about weaving a story into each frame. I specialize in dramatic storytelling portraiture, balancing between intricate editorial aesthetics and pristine portrait simplicity. My signature style embodies a narrative, whether it's through the use of props, the ambience, or inventive lighting techniques—a glimpse of which can be seen in my diverse portfolio. Adaptable and experimental, I infuse every image with a story, crafting visual tales that resonate.

A FAMILY LEGACY

Desie Roberts 1965

In 2010, at the tender age of 16, my passion for photography ignited, inspired by my artistic lineage and the legendary legacy of my grandfather, Desie Roberts. Founding Roberts Studio in 1973, he captured iconic figures like Hilary Clinton, Andrew Young, and Barack Obama. I grew up absorbing the magic of his studio, which ultimately guided me toward embracing photography as my chosen professional path.
