Hi, my name is Rachael Ashe. I am a visual artist, currently living in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I am a photographer and mixed-media artist. I work with everything from pinhole cameras to toy cameras, and film to digital.
My blog showcases some of my favourite works, and is an ongoing exploration of my development as an artist.

The person in silhouette is my friend Zoe. The textured glass was one of the boardroom windows where I was working at the time, and I would pass them every day thinking of ways to use them in a photograph. I shot a small series in black & white of Zoe in different poses, and added the colour overlay in photoshop. It’s good to have friends who are willing to do silly things in the spirit of creativity, even at work.
Remember what I said about taking your camera everywhere?
I just happen to be wearing these on my feet today.
The above shot was flickr blogged yesterday, which is pretty neat. It’s not a photo I would have chosen to represent my work to a wider audience, because it’s underexposed, the scan was really dirty, and I have a bazillion other shots that are so much better. (That’ll teach me to be lazy about cleaning up my scans when posting to flickr…)
