American photographer Ashley Truckey seeks to powerfully, intimately, & authentically present visual stories of humanity; with the purpose of expanding mindsets, influencing change, & showing glimpses of the workmanship of mankind. Beginning in 2008, Ashley learned she adored photographing people & sharing their lives in creative ways. Moving abroad in 2013, her world changed as the new host culture brought new perspective. She noticed the stereotypes in her own heart & home nation, which resulted in her sharing her experiences with people in America. Desiring to expand her abilities, she began an MA in Photography in 2016. The program refined her vision from a general interest in people to a focus on family, globalization, & identity. Her current work explores what fatherhood is & how fathers relate to their children. The project encompasses the cross-cultural environment these dads live in, the unknown realm of being a parent, & a search for understanding in her own nomadic life.
