Ash Davies Photography

Photography to me has always been an expression, not only of my mood and ideas, but also of the diverse feelings of my surroundings. It can be very difficult to capture a photograph as well as capture the essence of the scene, which is why I can spend hours tweaking settings and angles just to ensure I have the right shot. Undoubtedly, I am a perfectionist. I strive for everything to be exactly right. Whilst it can be annoying at times, I always have a greater appreciation for my end result.
To me, the most important aspect of an image is its lighting and vibrance. They portray the most significant qualities of a scene. I try to get these right on the initial shot. Editing to me is not photography, its simply being good on a computer. Whilst I understand it can make a photo look better, I feel it can take away the natural character of a shot and ruin its purity. After all. Photography is not artificial, it's imaginative and real.
