Early life
In an interview with Dylan Jones for his book Sweet Dreams: From Club Culture to Style Culture: the Story of the New Romantics, Ashworth describes how after school he abandoned his earlier scientific studies and decided, without ever having taken a picture, to become a photographer. In 1976, he joined the London College of Printing, and during this time befriended Stephen Jones, who was at St Martin's College:
'It was a fantastic time to be in London. I didn't realise when I first came here, because the London I came to was a wreck of a place. I was horrified at the state of London. It looked like it was still in the Second World War, and everyone was in the doldrums. It just felt very grey and negative. It felt like I'd travelled back about five or ten years from Eastbourne, which was a relatively happy-go-lucky place. London was ugly but full of fascinating people.'{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=AHjIDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT45&dq=peter+ashworth+photographer&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiftOHQ_paMAxVpU0EAHaU4ODQ4ChDoAXoECAYQAw#v=onepage&q=peter%20ashworth%20photographer&f=false |title=Sweet Dreams: From Club Culture to Style Culture |website=books.google.co.uk}}
Photography
One of Ashworth's inspirations as a photographer was British music photographer Brian Griffin. When writer Bill Brewster interviewed Ashworth, he said, 'He’s a stunning photographer I learned how to light by seeing Brian’s pictures and thinking, "These excite me".'{{Cite web|url=https://www.clashmusic.com/news/photographer-brian-griffin-has-died/|title=Photographer Brian Griffin Has Died|website=www.clashmusic.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/music/news/acclaimed-music-photographer-brian-griffin-has-died-depeche-mode-age-75-36390/h|title=Acclaimed music photographer Brian Griffin|website=www.rollingstone.co.uk}}

Ashworth's work came to prominence in the 1980s when he worked with pop bands such as Dead or Alive, Soft Cell, Eurythmics and The Associates; rock artists such as The Clash, The Ramones,{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/Ramones-Meltdown-With-The-Ramones/release/1485245|title=Ramones - Meltdown With The Ramones|website=Discogs.com}} The Cult, Tina Turner, Julian Cope and The The; post-punk band PIL with John Lydon;{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2018/dec/12/frankie-eurythmics-tina-turner-peter-ashworths-80s-pop-mavericks-in-pictures|title=Peter Ashowrth's acclaimed pop mavericks|website=www.theguardian.com}} 1980s-era New Romantic performers Visage and Steve Strange; and established artists such as Bryan Ferry.{{Cite web|url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/gallery/one-man-photographed-famous-album-14761408|title=This one man designed ALL these famous album covers|first=Laura|last=Davis|date=10 June 2018|website=Liverpoolecho.co.uk}}{{Cite web|url=https://opsandops.com/peter-ashworths-mavericks/|title=Peter Ashworth's Mavericks|website=Opsandops.com|date=1 June 2018}}
Ashworth's images have been used on album and single covers of the artists he has photographed, including Adam & The Ants’ Kings of the Wild Frontier,{{Cite web|url=https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/use-this-image.php?mkey=mw261385|title=Use this Image - National Portrait Gallery|website=Npg.org.uk}} The Associates’ Sulk,{{Cite web|url=https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw261589/The-Associates-Billy-Mackenzie-Alan-Rankine|title=The Associates (Billy Mackenzie; Alan Rankine) - National Portrait Gallery|website=Npg.org.uk}} Soft Cell's Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret,{{Cite web|url=https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw261390/Soft-Cell-Marc-Almond-David-Ball|title=Soft Cell (Marc Almond; David Ball) - National Portrait Gallery|website=Npg.org.uk}} Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Welcome to the Pleasuredome,{{Cite web|url=https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw261578/Frankie-Goes-to-Hollywood|title=Frankie Goes to Hollywood - National Portrait Gallery|website=Npg.org.uk}} Visage's debut album Visage{{Cite web|url=https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw261573/Visage-Steve-Strange-Vivienne-Lynn-Tribbeck-Stephen-Jones-Daryl-Humphries-Cerith-Wyn-Evans|title=Visage (Steve Strange, Vivienne Lynn (Tribbeck), Stephen Jones, Daryl Humphries, Cerith Wyn Evans) - National Portrait Gallery|website=Npg.org.uk}} and Eurythmics' Touch.{{Cite web|url=https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw261249/Annie-Lennox|title=Annie Lennox - National Portrait Gallery|website=Npg.org.uk}}
During the National Portrait Gallery's reopening in 2023 after a three-year refurbishment, Ashworth's image of Lennox for the 'Touch' album was used as the gallery's advertising poster, and also featured in the reopening exhibition.{{Cite web|url=https://eurythmics-ultimate.com/2023/06/peter-ashworths-photograph-of-annie-lennox-used-on-eurythmics-album-cover-touch-takes-pride-of-place-in-the-newly-re-opened-national-portrait-gallery-in-london/|title=National Portrait Gallery: Peter Ashworth's photograph of Annie Lennox|website=eurythmics-ultimate.com}}
Unusually for a rock photographer, Ashworth worked mostly with the large, square format Hasselblad cameras because, as he reasoned, ‘album covers are square’.{{Cite web|url=https://www.getintothis.co.uk/2018/06/peter-ashworth-mavericks-gallery-stanhope-st-liverpool/|title=Peter Ashworth - Mavericks: The Gallery, Stanhope St, Liverpool|date=2 June 2018}}
=Fashion=
Through his initial work with musicians and designers in the eighties, Ashworth came into contact with fashion designers and moved into the area of fashion photography, working with designers such as British milliner Stephen Jones OBE,{{Cite web|url=http://www.stephenjonesmillinery.com/search/node/peter%20ashworth|title=Search|website=Stephenjonesmillinery.com}}{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fEc0DgAAQBAJ&q=Victoria+&pg=PA267|title=Hats|first=Clair|last=Hughes|date=1 June 2017|publisher=Bloomsbury Academic|isbn=9780857851611|via=Google Books}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.stephenjonesmillinery.com/archive/04biography/cv.php|title=Stephen Jones Millinery: Biography: CV|website=Stephenjonesmillinery.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/the-insider-how-to-buy-a-hat-1.345850|title=The Insider: How to buy a hat|website=Thenational.ae}} (both Ashworth and Jones working together with Visage and Steve Strange)) - Jones using Ashworth's portrait on his first business card in 1979.{{Cite web|url=https://shapersofthe80s.com/2010/10/01/%e2%9e%a4-britain%e2%80%99s-top-hatter-stephen-jones-obe-celebrates-30-years-of-jonesmanship/|title=➤ Britain's top hatter, Stephen Jones OBE, celebrates 30 years of Jonesmanship|date=1 October 2010}}
Ashworth has also worked and with British fetish designers Murray and Vern, Basso & Brooke, and Atsuko Kudo. At the inception of the fetish club, Skin Two, one of its founders, Tim Woodward, asked Ashworth to photograph the event. In 1992, Ashworth photographed the ‘Skin Two Collection 3: Murray & Vern’ catalogue, art-directed and designed by Skin Two editor Tony Mitchell.{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=WCylBAAAQBAJ&pg=RA1-PT180&dq=peter+ashworth+photographer&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj7r4_x-paMAxURYEEAHVwKPF8Q6AF6BAgMEAM#v=onepage&q=peter%20ashworth%20photographer&f=false

The ubiquity of Ashworth's photographic work with music artists in the eighties led to him being mentioned in Mari Wilson’s UK Top 10 hit song{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/16416/mari-wilson/|title=MARI WILSON | full Official Chart History | Official Charts Company|website=Officialcharts.com}} ‘Just What I Always Wanted’
