Views From The Rough is the creation of two-time National Photographer of the Year, Kevin Allen. VFTR creates, displays, and sells visual imagery from the world of Golf, Professional and Collegiate Sports, Family, and Executive Portraiture.

Kevin was a five-sport athlete in high school and a two-sport athlete in college. His in-depth athletic knowledge gives him an advantage over other photographers who’ve never played any sport at a high level. They attended an art school or school of Journalism which doesn’t give the critical thinking of in-game decisions based on seeing a formation and understanding the tendencies of the other team or counter-moves in a sport such as wrestling.

You’ll also be able to listen past Radio Shows, broadcast on more than 100 stations on the ESPN and CBS Sports family of networks all over the country. Views from The Rough, interviewed the names, players, and news makers from the world of golf each week. Then I was able to take a unique approach and gathered anyone who was a celebrity in any Sport, TV, Radio, Politics, and especially Music. Because every Golfer wants to be a Rock Star and every Rock Star wants to be a golfer.

With this site I’m hoping through the magic of photography, I can take you through a journey of sports memories, golf courses you’ve dreamed of playing, and samples of my Sunrise or Sunset Family Portraits. When you’re done, that’s all you need to see and you’ve chosen VFTR for Sports Wall Décor, a Personal or Family Portrait, or maybe a broadcast for your listening enjoyment.

Enjoy the ride and Thank YOU for visiting and cruising the site.
