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.
