Artist Research - Ashley Gilbertson

Ashley Gilbertson

Australian based photographer, Ashley Gilbertson, is best known for his photography work in the Iraq war. His education in photojournalism was shaped by Emmanuel Santos in Melbourne and Masao Endo in Japan. Gilbertson worked on socially driven photo essays ranging from drug addiction in Melbourne to war zones in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.


 I take inspiration from Gilbertson's work because of how dedicated he is to his work. This commitment is shown through his photographs. He gets so close to the action and was often right in the middle of it. He risks life and limb to get the perfecte shot.  His photos show the raw conflict of war and the evil nature some humans posses.
