I am an artist located in Tempe, Arizona and I'm 24. I grew up in a tiny rural town on the east coast and had never seen the desert until I visited Arizona in 2018. Inspired by the desert, I moved to Arizona to pursue art the same year. I received my BFA in Photography from Arizona State in 2022, and have been pursuing my artistic practice since.
Primarily, I make solar prints and take infrared photographs. Neither are possible without intense sunlight, which is no problem with 300+ sunny days a year in AZ.
The majority of my work is an expression of my own emotions and a deeper examination of my own relationship to my surroundings, myself, and my struggle with mental illness. I make work that I feel directly connected to, with specific purpose and personal meaning.
While my own artistic practice is very niche, I'm also a "regular" photographer. 8+ years experience in digital photography and offering a wide range of services. For inquires/portfolio, email me at contact@photosbyasa.com.
