Kevin Avery

Kevin Avery feels incredibly fortunate to be able to call the ocean his home office. During any given swell you might find him on the coast of California passionately working to capture the energy of the water and the pure joy that it brings.

He started his fine art photography business with his father, Alan, and their simple goal was to bring the awe-inspiring movement and force of the ocean to people on land.

What ensued has been a journey that has changed Kevin’s life in too many ways to count. Perfecting the ability to remain calm and effortless in the water during conditions that are oftentimes quite fierce has become an obsession he has not been able to shake. Embracing this addiction to getting absolutely wrecked by waves, he has become a full-time award-winning photographer.

He is self-taught through trial and error, and over the years he has refined his skillset at the California Center for Digital Arts in Santa Ana.

When Kevin is not in the ocean trying to get barreled, he loves spending time with his wife Joanna, son Ellis, daughter June, and golden retriever Baker.

Avery currently lives and works in Southern California. His work can be viewed at and on Instagram .
