For someone who picked up a camera just over five years ago the self taught music photographer has been a busy guy. Given his first commercial break by his friend David Coverdale on the Whitesnake 2003 Reunion tour he produced a very strong catalog of work that found its way into two different tour books and on to numerous merchandising items that are still in demand today.

On the rare occasion that he’s away from music, Ash likes to travel to shoot landscapes. His favorite locations are Scotland, Ireland and the California national parks such as Joshua Tree and the Northern Coastlines. “It’s a wonderful contrast to the pressures of the music business but sooner than later I’ll be found between a band and a mosh pit banging my head in between shots.”





Ash Newell was born and raised in Yorkshire, England, moved to the USA in the mid 90’s and now resides in Texas.
