GAMERS
OUTREACH

Hi! My name is Atlas Vernier. I’m a photographer specializing in candid portraiture. My greatest passion is to work with others and showcase their skill and passion, which has driven me to work with gamers, D&D players, firebreathers, musicians, and more! Most recently, I’ve presented my work at PAX East and PAX Unplugged both as a photographer and a developer. Being a photographer at Gamers for Giving 2026 would allow me to highlight the emotions and connection that I see in the Gamers Outreach community.

By day, I’m a PhD student in systems engineering, meaning that I also excel at organization and infrastructure, adapting my own workflow and communication to reflect the needs of the people around me. I’m also a technologist at the Institute for Creativity, Arts, & Technology, merging cutting-edge technology with artistic drive to create immersive art experiences.

I’m excited to bring my skills to Gamers Outreach!
