Behind the Artist

Ash Highberger

Paris, France - Portrait & Surreal Photographer

A published American Photographer who creates works inspired by Renaissance and Victorian eras, mythology, and the occult. Through her lens she explores empowerment, mental health, and the gentleness of everyday life.

Known for her warm moody style and themes of romance, she documents the sweetness in the lives of others with the brand The Parlor Grim for lovers and dreamers alike.

My work has orbited around playfulness, connection, and romance since I started photography as a teen and I can’t imagine a better place to document people and the ones they love than in Paris. I remember my first trip here being moved to tears by iconic locations I had only dreamed of visiting, the energy of the city feeling electric and exciting. I am honored to capture those moments for others.
