ASIA HAMILTON | DETROIT, MI USA In her 20-year career as a photographer, Asia has cultivated a talent for capturing moments the way they are -- those rare, raw and precious glimpses of life that exist in between poses and pretense. She specializes in portraits, landscapes, textures and nudes and is drawn to existing, untouched composition, which she says, is a reflection of her own authenticity. It was this strong sense of self that helped change her mind from working at her father’s beauty salon to pursuing photography. The first time she got behind the camera, she understood it was her primary lens to examine the world around her. Since then, Asia’s work has taken her around the country and the world.  QUOTE: “Texture automatically stands out to me because of how it’s lit and how God or the Universe has composed it.”
