Ash Powell

Ash Powell seems to know who she is as a photographer after just one year—and that is no easy feat. She has a timeless, cinematic approach to her images, which she achieves by using natural light and capturing moments as they are unfolding. “I have always been obsessed with novels and films, so I love being able to use photography as an outlet to tell love stories.” Using mainly Canon 5D Mark IIIs and 35mm and 85mm lenses, Powell wants people to look at her work and always know it’s her who created it. “I stay true to the things I like photographing and always share work I’m proud of, regardless of whether it’s trendy or not.”
