Ava Shepherd is a photographer based in East London, working across sport, music and live events. She has a particular interest in women’s sport and grassroots football, as well as live music and the communities that surround it.

Her approach is about being present and telling stories through photography in a way that feels honest and natural. She enjoys capturing moments as they happen, from the intensity of a match to the atmosphere of a live show, while focusing on the small details around an event that make it what it is.
