Ashby Chronicles

My Photography journey came to me way before the idea of it becoming a career was born, as a child I used to use my fathers old camera phone to capture candid moments, this was only the beginning. With my first personal phone I explored local parks, streets and creative art events inspired by the beauty around me shooting the moments that made me feel something. Friends encouraged me to share my work but I dismissed it as a pastime. It wasn't until I was gifted my first camera, by my music teacher who kickstarted my career, that I realised that I could make something of myself. This experience sparked my desire to turn my passion into a profession.


Half a Decade of Experience

My Professional endeavours came to inception February 2020. Since then I have honed my skills behind the lens, capturing the beauty of everyday life. This journey has allowed me to explore various styles, whilst developing a keen eye for detail and composition. Each click of the shutter has been a lesson in light, emotion, and story telling, transforming my passion into a profound understanding of the art. My portfolio reflects not just my technical growth, but also my evolving perspective of the world around me. This allows me to execute the ideas that my clients bring forth to me.
