ABOUT Austen

Austen Risolvato is a Creative Director, Podcast Producer, Documentary Director, Videographer, and Photographer from Atlanta, GA. With two decades of creative direction, professional photography and videography for public figures and entertainers, Risolvato leans on her innate ability to capture each individual in the manner most becoming to them. Her experience in photography is as broad as her client list, from portraiture, event, fine art, and travel to editorial. She also studied under, assisted and archived for world-renowned photographer, David LaChapelle in his Los Angeles studio. She has called many places home including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Paris, and London.

Her clients have included: Disney Interactive, Lucasfilm, YouTube, The Clinton Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, The All-American Rejects, Daughtry, Universal Records, OKgo, 311, and Lush Cosmetics, among others. Her work has been featured in a broad cross section of media including RollingStone magazine, National Geographic online, Voice Media outlets, and Cox Media outlets.

She approaches every client differently choosing to focus on the personality of the individual and the desired brand reflection. Risolvato has always believed that capturing the authenticity of a moment and using her innate creative abilities combined with imagery to help a client build their narrative is paramount to future proofing a brand to remain current and engaged with an audience or electorate.

  • "Austen’s disarming soulful manner and attention to detail make her photos come alive. Unlike many photographers, I feel like she’s one of us; a genuine rock n roll obsessed artist, not some invasive outsider looking to steal some sunshine and make a buck. Like a modern day Brassai, I’ve watched her move gracefully from the dirtiest dive-bars of Atlanta to the fanciest VIP lounges of Tokyo!"

    Sugarcult’s Marko Desantis

  • "Having Austen on set for our week-long production was a great experience. She was able to capture all of the classic moments of the shoot while showing complete professionalism toward the crew and talent. She’s at the top of our list for future productions."

    — Matt Martin, Creative Executive Lucasfilm Story Group

  • "Many of my clients have celebrity status or are at the highest level of their respective industries. Austen could always be trusted to interface with them in a mature and discreet manner. She never appeared to overstep her boundaries and my observation was that she was well regarded by my clients."

    — Photographer, David LaChapelle

  • "Austen is quick to size up an artist and get a real feel for what he or she is all about, this in turn, translates into her images. Always a pleasure to deal with someone who takes such pride in their art form."

    Daughtry’s Brian Craddock

  • "Austen is fun and easy to work with, and her creativity comes out in every shot."
