Ashley Armitage is the photographer and brain behind those viral body-hair images you've been seeing on Instagram all summer, and she's redefining beauty ideas one photo at a time. 📸
couldn't wait to start college in Santa Barbara, California. Ever since her dad bought her a Canon AE-1 film camera and a few rolls of black-and-white film three years prior, she was rarely without it. "He and I started going on photo outings," she tells"We'd drive to different towns around Seattle, where I grew up, and start taking photos of each other or street art.
Immediately she felt the effects of being one of the few women in the room. "For class projects, it was always men being chosen as the directors, producers, and DPs," she says. "The women were always the stylists, makeup artists, or assistants. Women never really held the power in the films that were being produced at the school. I couldn't deal with it."
She set out to make a film with as much of a female point of view as possible, and yet she hit road blocks at each turn. "I still had to hire a male screenwriter, a male DP, and a male editor, because that's all I had access to. I'd only lived Santa Barbara for a few months and didn't have many friends outside the program." It ended up being "a terrible experience" because the guys helping her ended up overriding her decisions.
"When I first started photography, it was super personal," Armitage says. "It was literally me taking photos of my friends, and I wouldn't post them to the internet. I didn't know, really, what was happening or that it was even important work at the time, because it was literally just a personal project. I made an Instagram in 2014 and started posting my work. I had only a couple hundred followers at first. Then it started.
