Photography Background:
A former basketball player, Cassy Athena has a passion for sports and the arts. Her father took pictures for fun, so she always a had a camera in her hand as a child. She would get her start in photography by taking photographs of her high school teams with her father. She would later take art classes at California State University, Northridge, where one of her professors introduced her to the idea of combining photography and sports. It was a hobby that turned into a profession. She began working during the NBA lockout in 2011 taking photos during Drew League games in Los Angeles. She quickly became one of the highlights during sporting events when the lockout ended and has been one of the most highly respected sports photographers since.
