This is M-Lifestyle's 30 Under 40

B. Alyssa Trofort is a sports and portrait photographer and videographer, based in Los Angeles. Going the formal route, she decided to attend Virginia Commonwealth University, the #1 public university for school of the arts, where she not only received a great education but participated in numerous opportunities including an internship at People Magazine. After receiving her BFA in 2013, she moved to Atlanta where she began assisting celebrity and commercial photographers including Derek Blanks. She became a full time photographer in 2015 and has had the opportunity to have her work published and featured with Finish Line, NBAtv, American Family Insurance, Rolling Out Magazine, Uptown Magazine, Estetica Hair Magazine, and many more. She believes you will never work a day in your life when you do what you love, and she’s honored to have the opportunity to be inspired by her subjects that are striving to be their best selves.
