We are beyond thrilled to announce that Ashleigh Scully has joined Girls Who Click as our spokeswoman. There is nobody better suited for this role of inspiring teens to join the male-dominated field of nature photography! As a teen herself, Ashleigh is passionate about both nature photography and conservation. You would never guess that she is only a high school sophomore – her work is sophisticated and demonstrates a keen eye for composure. She has mastered the art of telling stories through her beautiful photographs, many of which she captures near her home and on her travels. True to the Girls Who Click mission, she not only composes beautiful images, but she uses her work to educate others about conservation topics and wildlife preservation.
Ashleigh’s honors include the 2017 Nature’s Best Windland Smith Rice Youth Photographer of the Year and the 11-14 year old winner in London’s prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. She has been published in National Geographic Kids, Shutterbug, Outdoor Photographer and Amateur Photographer magazines. In 2017, Ashleigh was chosen by Adobe as one of the top young photographers in the world and selected for their “Adobe Rising Stars” campaign. In 2015, Ashleigh was one of five talented teenage girls selected for Ellen DeGeneres’ “GirlPower” campaign for The GAP. Her images have been exhibited in London’s Natural History Museum, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. and in other top galleries and museums in more than 70 countries. Ashleigh is on the advisory council for Wyoming Untrapped and is an active contributing writer, photographer and youth workshop co-leader for The Canid Project.
Truly inspiring!. We’re often on the look out for creative photographers for researching ideas for creative briefs, and this post is one we’ll definitely come back to again and again. Saved!
