Ashley Rivera Mercado

Ashley Rivera Mercado is an Orlando-based photographer born in Yauco, Puerto Rico. With strict parents who allowed her to go to concerts from a young age in exchange for good grades, Ashley took advantage and has been a music junkie ever since as a lover of everything from hardcore to reggaeton. Since picking up her first DSLR at age 14, she's practiced endlessly and begged her way into shooting some of her favorite artists including Lights, Melanie Martinez, and Modest Mouse. In her spare time, she enjoys long walks on the beach, reading, and attempting to keep her plants alive. You can check out more of her work on her website.
