Peter Ashworth (born 1953[1]) is an English photographer. Ashworth initially specialized in music photography, between 1979 and 2000. In the 1980s, he worked with many UK artists including The Smiths,[2] Depeche Mode,[3] Eurythmics,[4] Soft Cell,[5] Jimmy Page[6][7] and The Associates.
He has also performed as a musician with various bands, including Marc and the Mambas (with Marc Almond), The Gadgets, and The The. In 1980, Ashworth—using his Triash pseudonym—was briefly a member of the band The The with Matt Johnson.[8] In 1982–1983, he played drums as a member of Marc and the Mambas.
He now works predominantly in fashion and style/culture photography,[9][10] working with fashion designers such as Stephen Jones, Basso & Brooke and Atsuko Kudo. He is known in part for his photography of fetish subjects,[11][12] for creating sets and shooting on location using lighting techniques that explore the textures and cut of his subjects.[citation needed]
Ashworth's work is featured in The National Portrait Gallery permanent collection archive, consisting of twelve images: Adam and the Ants - Kings Of The Wild Frontier; Annie Lennox - Eurythmics: Touch & Face to Face portrait; Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome; Soft Cell - Bedsitter & Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret; Associates - Sulk; Erasure - phone-booth; David Sylvian - portrait; Julian Cope - Saint Julian (album); Visage - debut sleeve; Steve Strange - portrait.[13]
