Inspired by his coming of age in a small town in Louisiana,
Ransom Ashley tells us the story behind his recent photographic series
Virgins. Revisiting memories and psychological currents of his childhood, Ashley’s work becomes centered on emotions and explorations while projecting all these feelings into the images within the series. Impacted and influenced by how people around him are not able to see the value in artistic expression or individuality, he achieves to create and tell a relevant story. “It was a personal endeavor for me, which is also why all of the people in this series are quite significant in some way to my coming of age experience.”
