This August marks my third year as ASE Photography, and it's certainly been fun to watch my photography skills and
portfolio grow. Living in Asheville, I've enjoyed some amazing
opportunities to work with other local artists and business people who
have helped me improve my art and expand my brand. In celebration, I
wanted to look back at the work that began my career. Below are some examples of my favorite work.
I
worked my first wedding for a teammate in December 2012 and immediately
fell in love with the style of photography as weddings are the perfect
fit for my aesthetic of capturing love and genuine emotions. Visit my
wedding site to see more wedding photos.
- Fashion shoot in the Historic Montford Neighborhood
When Jaimie of
JaimieMollie.com
came to me asking if I could take photos for her fashion blog, I
delightedly accepted. This led to a beautiful partnership and a lot of
fun hunting through Asheville for creative places to shoot.
Judah and the Lion at the Orange Peel in February.
Last winter, I joined the Orange Peel House Photography team. Great live music AND photography? What's not to love.
- Advertising photos for my friend's home listing on Airbnb
I've
always loved interior design, so when my friend asked me to photograph
her home capturing its essence for promotion on Airbnb, I jumped at the
chance. Not two weeks later, I started working for
Morehouse Interiors in photography and social media and have loved every minute of it.
Joining
the
Ask Asheville team has offered me the chance not only to see and
learn more about this beautifully unique city, but also to connect with
numerous local business people. I'm looking forward to continuing my
work with Gary as Ask Asheville's signature photographer.
Being a summer intern for
The Laurel of Asheville meant getting my work - both photography and writing - published for the first time, and what a whirlwind it was.
The upcoming school year also marks my third year as head photographer for the
UNC Asheville Athletic Department. As a UNCA cross country and track athlete and sports enthusiast, photographing my fellow Bulldogs never feels like work.
- Getting back to my photographic roots with film
Finally,
I have found my photographic "voice" illustrating the necessity of art
in all our lives. The photo above is from my latest project documenting
my personal experiences in places that are overly photographed, such as
the beach, using multiple exposure on film. You can read more about the
project on my blog,
Seriously-creative.blogspot.com.
I
hope you have enjoyed a taste of my work. Feel free to contact me at
aseartistry10@gmail.com to set up a photo shoot. Or visit my
online gallery to order from some of my favorite images I've taken in my photographic adventures.
