Ashley Anderson united states
title
Boiling River
It's 22 years later now and Ashley, as predicted, is a photographer based out of Bozeman, MT. Now that she has graduated from Montana State University with a degree in photography, she intends to hone her skills as a documentary, portrait, and still life photographer while exploring other areas of photography.
Ashley has always had a healthy yearning to learn about the world, particularly the people and cultures within it. While at MSU she picked up an anthropology minor where she flourished under her professor's teachings of different cultures, the human body, and what we (humans) have left behind to teach us about our history. In her latter years of school, she began to focus on photography that was born from an interest in science, whether it be social or physical. She has tailored her photography with science and her love for homo sapiens and all we do - hence the name FotoSapien.

entry description
The Boiling River is a great little stretch of river on the edge of Yellowstone National Park. In the early morning, the steam and cool light create the most ethereal landscape (especially when one is surrounded by bison.)We decided to take advantage of the empty waters and make some unique semi-nude/nude photographs.about the photographer
Ashley is something of a seer...when she was six years old she walked up to her mother in her little ballet outfit that she never took off and told her mother that when she grew up she was going to be a photographer in Montana, and that was that.It's 22 years later now and Ashley, as predicted, is a photographer based out of Bozeman, MT. Now that she has graduated from Montana State University with a degree in photography, she intends to hone her skills as a documentary, portrait, and still life photographer while exploring other areas of photography.
