hi i'm ashley arasaki

Thanks for checking out my website. I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember and it brings me a lot of joy to share this part of me with you. For me, I see in photographs. It helps me digest the world I am in and create new ones - I often have one foot in this reality and the other in my own daydream.

Photography for me it’s not looking, it's feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.

I believe everyone I’ve ever met is an artist and I am deeply passionate about immersing myself in the human experience. I strive to create visual imagery that feels timeless, nothing more and nothing less than extension of myself and the muse I am creating with. My primary centers of inspiration are irish folklore, natural landscapes, the renaissance time period, and psychedelia. When I am not doing photography I am probably wearing one of my other hats: therapist, reiki practitioner, writer, wife, dog mom, cloud watcher, etc etc.
