Simon Ashmore

Simon Ashmore is a Kent-based photographer who uses the medium to create distinctive, abstract images that find easier comparison with some styles of painting and print-making than with photography.
Simon’s work explores an expressive language of mood, tone, and shape. Dramatic seascapes, wild ink-like reflections, and dense forests are reoccurring subjects.
Typically each image is many hours in the making, as Simon applies ‘in camera’ and post processing techniques – often including the layering of many separate images – to achieve the desired outcome.
