Akasha Rabut was born in California and raised on Kauai where she started dabbling in photography at the age of 15. She received a merit scholarship to the San Francisco Art Institute and graduated with a B.F.A in photography in 2007. Askasha currently lives and works professionally as a photographer in Chicago. She loves ambiguity, teenagers, vivid color and negative space - all of which are common themes to her work.
