Kia Ora I’m Ashley Emiko, an indigenous wahine, visual artist, and creative based in Aotearoa, New Zealand. My mahi toi is all about capturing the essence of my subjects, sharing their stories, and evoking emotions through my lens. I strive to create work that not only tells a story but also connects on a deeper level.
My work is a celebration of diversity and a reclamation of space for underrepresented voices. I focus on uplifting wāhine and creating a platform where cultural heritage is not only preserved but redefined and decolonised. Through my photography, I explore themes of connection to te taiao, self-love, identity, and cultural heritage.
I am deeply committed to excellence in everything I create. Driven by passion and a high standard for delivering exceptional results, I aim to provide the best possible experience for my clients, ensuring every project is approached with care, creativity, and authenticity.
