EMOTIONAL AESTHETICS

— A SYMBOL OF A SOUL.

When vulnerability is harnessed there is an inherent vitality and sensibility conveyed. Emotional aesthetics is less about wanting to look good and more about being unapologetic with how you feel and who you are.

Emotional Aesthetics is the title of a publication PRODUCED BY THOUGHT CATALOG Photography BY ASHLEY KLASSEN & poetry by Bianca Sparacino

Ashley is a professional photographer and creative director available in Montreal and Toronto. Photography became an extension of her artistic expression following her performance career in theatre and opera.

Deeply influenced by her desire to communicate through character and emotion, she shares a safe space for her subjects to express freely by exploring methods rooted in performance art. The sensory and playful nature of improvisation, imagination, and intuition, unravel an uninhibited beauty, vulnerability, and honest feelings. 

As a creative director, she marries her professional experience in Branding & Marketing, with her skillset as a multifaceted artist. Whether she’s carefully curating a visual landscape, fashion styling, or guiding her subjects how to pose on set, her editorial eye echos artfully executed details.  

Her signature style emanates undeniable feminine allure, layered with dichotomous reflection. Strength and softness, confidence and insouciance. With an affinity for the poetically untamed and capturing mesmerizing motion, her work aims to exude the essence of each muse she works with.

She photographs soulful creatives, entrepreneurs, brands, and mothers in addition to her specialty - female portraiture.

Ashley is also the owner and interior designer of SOL Atelier Studio, a fully furnished boutique photo studio in both downtown Toronto and Montreal - open to rent to the public for all forms of creativity be it photography or gatherings.
