Piece description from the artist
Paramount Pictures | Melrose Gate | Hollywood
Paramount Pictures Corporation is the fifth oldest surviving film studio in the world and has been a subsidiary of Viacom since 1994. The early beginnings of Paramount began in 1916 when Adolph Zukur put 22 actors under contract including Mary Pickford, Gloria Swanson, Rudolph Valentino, and Douglas Fairbanks. He honored them on the logo with 22 stars crowning a mountain which has been rumored to be both a nod to the designer's childhood in Utah and the neighboring San Gabriel Mountains in Los Angeles. On November 16, 2018, Paramount signed a multi-picture film deal with Netflix as part of Viacom's growth strategy, making Paramount the first major film studio to do so. In April 2018, Paramount posted its first quarterly profit since 2015. Bob Bakish, CEO of parent Viacom, said in a statement that turnaround efforts "have firmly taken hold as the studio improved margins and returned to profitability. This month’s outstanding box-office performance of A Quiet Place, the first film produced and released under the new team at Paramount, is a clear sign of our progress."
Ashland grew up in Southeast Virginia surrounded by lush rural landscapes, great protected swamp lands, national & state parks, the Chesapeake Bay, the Eastern Shore, the breathtaking Skyline Drive & Blue Ridge Mountains, and the inlets & oceans of Virginia & North Carolina.
It was this constant variation in natural beauty that first drew his eye to the camera; that, and the constant joy of capturing life's candid moments on film. Although no particular subject is banned from the lens of Ashland's camera, it is landscapes, cityscapes, wildlife, and nature that truly captures his heart.
"There's always more to see, more to learn, more to be wowed about-I just hope you enjoy what I see in the world."
A constant staple on the likes of Instagram, Flickr, and Facebook, Ashland currently resides in Chicago, Illinois, and looks forward to many more years of development, collaboration, creativity, world travel, and art.
