Lyall Aston: Miami Fashion & Beauty Photographers

"Brought up by a man who walked into the wild, born under an incandescent African sky at the far tip of the globe, I was a child bathed under a fluorescent rainbow so deep and high beside a rugged ocean, so wild and free, inspired by the might of the point breaks and the two oceans meeting.

I was born to capture light and life’s spontaneous moments with a hunter's repartee, whet by the taste of the unknown, far from the smell of home, inspired by perfection and never fleeting. Cities anew, lands uncharted, lessons all learned with an open mind and trusting eye.

I work as hard as the day is long, for there are no shortcuts to any place worth going. If this is all you’ll ever know about me, it’s enough to say you know me well."
