A Life in Pictures
Photographer Ashley Johnson works as a commercial photographer in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, specializing in brand, food and lifestyle photography for clients. But it’s the work she does for herself that defines who she is. In her bio, she calls herself “a mixed-media artist by way of hand-crafted weavings, floral, woven and braided masks, and … a documentarian and photographer by way of life.
“I’ve always documented my life, my family, and the things around me. And then, I just started getting hired for small projects,” Ashley says. “And over time, it just turned into its own business — and its own life.”
