Kristy Ashton - Scottish Dreams

Kristy Ashton is a portrait photographer who was born in Australia but now lives and works in Scotland. Kristy's great great great grandfather was George Washington Wilson, one of the pioneers of outdoor photography who photographed Queen Victoria and John Brown in 1863 - so her connection to photography and to Scotland runs deep. Kristy’s unique style is a culmination of a number of ingredients from her personal journey - an innate sense of creativity, a romantic dream of scotland and a love of renaissance painters resulting in images that are somehow otherworldly and completely authentic all at the same time. Our conversation covers Kristy’s road to Scotland, the ups and downs of running a photography business through a global pandemic, why Merinos are my favourite kind of sheep and much much more - here’s my conversation with Kristy Ashton.Show NotesFollow this week’s guest at the following links: Website - https://theauldromantics.com Etsy Shop - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheAuldRomantics Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kristyashton/ Connect with View Finders here:Episodes - www.viewfinderslive.com/podcast Instagram - www.instagram.com/viewfinderspodcast Tickets for the next View Finders Live Event - https://viewfinderslive.com/events To save 10% off tickets for View Finders Live events, use the code VF10Connect with me at:www.grahamdargie.co.uk www.grahamdargie.co.uk/blog www.instagram.com/grahamdargie Additional show linksDouble Exposure:Man in Top Hat, Glencoe - https://www.instagram.com/p/CPs9Y8xhnr4/ Maggie - https://www.instagram.com/p/CLr8XgXF3tq/ Other links:Dunottar Castle - https://www.dunnottarcastle.co.uk George Washington Wilson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Wilson James Valentine - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Valentine_(photographer) Rembrandt - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rembrandt Glencoe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glencoe,_Highland Kilchurch Castle -
