Welcome! I'm Avery Hadley, a passionate Creative Director and Photographer based in the vibrant city of Portland, Oregon.
With a deep-rooted love for storytelling through visuals, I thrive on capturing moments that resonate and inspire.
My journey into photography began with a fascination for how images can convey emotions and narratives. Over the years, I've honed my craft, specializing in food, hospitality, and wine industries. Whether it's crafting a compelling brand narrative or capturing the essence of a culinary experience, I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise to every project.
As the co-founder of Gala Agency, I lead a talented team dedicated to elevating brands through captivating photography, dynamic videography, and strategic content creation. We collaborate closely with clients, from local cafés to renowned wineries, to translate their vision into visual stories that engage and resonate with their audience.
Beyond photography, I'm driven by a desire to push creative boundaries and challenge perspectives. My approach blends artistic flair with a meticulous attention to detail, ensuring each image not only captures but also communicates a brand's essence and values.
When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me exploring Portland's culinary scene, seeking inspiration from the city's diverse culture and flavors. I'm also an avid advocate for sustainability, incorporating eco-conscious practices into my work whenever possible.
Whether you're looking to tell your brand's story through compelling visuals or seeking innovative marketing solutions, I'm here to bring your vision to life. Let's collaborate and create something extraordinary together.
