Hi, I’m Ashli Buts. I grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains, surrounded by redwoods, the ocean, and creatively inspired by life, nature, and art. As a creative thinker, I love being immersed in the process of it all: prop making, lighting, shooting, editing, and brand research. Exploring juxtapositions in life, how we live, what we consume, and how we interact with the earth and each other, is integral to my work. My product, still life, and lifestyle photography coincide with the relationship we have with the natural world. Blending color theory, lighting, and storytelling, I want my imagery to inspire others to think critically, have a conversation, and spark a creative fire.
