About us!
Fun fact: Adrian and Mallory both grew up in Oak Ridge, TN, playing on the same soccer team and playing in orchestra together. A few months ago, they ran into each other on a walk in Chapel Hill and realized that they have lived in the same neighborhood for the last few years. They reconnected, and this collaboration was born!
Adrian Etheridge
I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was 10, after my mom found her old film camera in the attic and thought I might enjoy playing with it. In the fall of 2007, I traveled with my grandparents to Paris where I fell in love with visual storytelling through documenting my own adventures in a location new to me. I took up film photography in 10th grade (2008) where I discovered the true art of photography through learning the ins-and-outs of taking, developing and printing images by hand. I took my first job in photography (and actually my first real job!) shooting sports for UNC Asheville in 2012, then shot my first wedding that same year. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from UNC Asheville in 2015 and went full time in my business that same year. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.
