In my own words
— AshakaFrom a very young age, I was interested in photography and inspired by the movies, the characters, and storytelling.
I began to see that I could blend the two in an artistic way. I truly enjoy working with people and creating stories that connect on an emotional level.
And I believe it’s important to tell stories that show a diverse perception of the world.
The environment, the lighting, all become characters in the story I’m trying to tell. I want to capture a performance, a live connection between the image and the viewer.
