TESSA YOUNG

Tessa Young is a NYC based photographer who covers local sports, fashion, live concerts, and creative portraits. Her work has been featured on Local Wolves, Blush Magazine, 2LateMag, Fellows Collective, and Fashion Republic Magazine.

As a student at FIT, she has earned her Associates in Advertising and Marketing Communications and is working towards completing her Bachelors in Art History and Museum Professions. Merging her academic background with her photographic interests, Tessa captures and creates images that express the emotions and feelings of her subjects. She believes it is important to document and keep archives of underrepresented identities and communities as a form of resistance.

Tessa first joined CSSA during the 2025 Fall Season as the organization's photography intern, capturing key moments ranging from regular-season games to championship matches. Since then, she has covered the 2025-2026 Winter and 2026 Spring seasons, taking on the additional responsibilities of social media management. She hopes to continue encouraging and instilling confidence in youth athletes by capturing their hard work, dedication, and wins through new, creative formats and mediums this upcoming season.
