Asher laid his hands on a camera for the first time at four years old to frame the extraordinary world he saw but for which he did not yet have descriptors. Capturing fleeting moments through his lens, Asher felt empowered to communicate the intricate awe of the world as he saw it. His passion for capturing a finite moment and making it infinite led Asher to Southern Utah University, where he grad
uated with a B.I.S. Understanding deeply that human perception plays a significant role in how images are interpreted, Asher also completed a Psychology degree with an emphasis in behavior and neurology. Throughout the evolution of his work, Asher has found working with light, whether found or created, to be one of his greatest challenges. Lighting can invoke emotion that would otherwise be lost if an image is not lit properly. With patience and persistence, Asher continues to discover new ways to shape the light in the way that evokes the same emotion of the moment the image he is capturing. He graduated college with a triple major degree. With a degree in communication, psychology and studio Fine art photography, he utilizes his real world experience with contemporary book smarts. Asher’s art has been published in multiple magazines and newspapers across the country, and his work has been exhibited in several galleries and shows. He is currently the Staff Photographer for St. George Magazine. Now, as a professional, published photographer, Asher works within the realm of portraiture, advertising and commercial photography. He paints with light and consistently keeps his eyes open to the possibilities of a moment that may be captured for eternity, thriving in the creative realm of thought as he seeks out his next photographic venture.
