Sports Photography
As a lifetime athlete, I know how consuming athletics can be. From the countless hours of training to the grit and determination needed in competition to the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, sports define the lives of those who participate. Even, and perhaps especially, for those high school and college athletes who don’t go on to compete professionally, it’s important to commemorate that time so that you can always remember why you love your sport.
My ten years as UNC Asheville's lead sports photographer - where I captured every home event as well as photographed teams and individuals for editorial-style graphics & billboards - and my lifetime of experience as an athlete set me up to photograph for individual athletes, teams, tournaments, coaches, health & lifestyle brands, and online coaching platforms.
“The Asheville Open Tennis Championships is very fortunate to have the services of professional photographer Adrian Etheridge and her team since 2018 to capture the tournament (adult and junior) through pictures and videos. We utilize the videos for marketing and many of her tournament pictures are now prominent in the tennis clubhouse for patrons to enjoy. In addition, she provides the opportunity for players to purchase action shots online during and after the tournament. Adrian and her team are true professionals who are a pleasure to work with throughout the tournament. Adrian’s calm demeanor and willingness to pivot during weather issues make it easy to work with her and her team. I highly recommend Adrian Etheridge Photography for any tennis tournament looking to capture the action of the players, spectators, sponsors, staff, and officials. ”

“Adrian has an amazing talent. She is a gifted photographer, a magician. For a young person to have this level of expertise in her craft is highly unusual and refreshingly joyful to see. She makes it seamless and effortless. There is no 20 minutes of moving people around for the “perfect” position, she nailed it within seconds, and we were a large group! I am EXTREMELY picky about photographs, I am a real estate agent and I take pictures all of the time, and I know the value of a good picture. I saw in Adrian a professional the moment I saw her set up. Truly a delight! Adrian has my highest admiration!”
