Ferrotype Portrait by Asa Gilmore

I am thrilled you are here. This is where we start! I believe that my photography is a by product of who I am as a person so here is my honest and humble 'about me'! 

My photography is an extension of who I am: an artist, explorer, and learner. I seek positivity and embrace new opportunities. My photography journey began with my first handmade photo, crafted with a camera I built myself. This hands-on approach allowed me a deep understanding of photography, capturing the feel of moments, not just their look.

I am deeply passionate about analog photography, including film and large format. This love for the tactile and authentic nature of film photography has taught me to respect the properties of light and has profoundly influenced my artistic style. The slow, deliberate process of analog photography allows me to be fully present and mindful, capturing the true essence of each moment.
pLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MY WORKS SPEAKS TO YOU, AND YOU’D LIKE ME TO CAPTURE A SLICE OF YOUR LIFE!

This handmade approach is what allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of the art, freeing him to be fully present outside his viewfinder.

Whether for work or leisure, Calvin’s world travels are never without a camera by his side.
