Ashley Barron ACS is an international, award-winning Director of Photography. Her varied background of growing up between Ireland, Armenia, and Australia has shaped her unique mix of visual attitudes, perspective and approach.

Ashley entered the industry as a Camera Assistant before being chosen as 1 of 28 cinematographers selected to train at the American Film Institute Conservatory in Hollywood, the youngest in her class.

Ashley's career has since spanned across the US, UK, Europe, Australia, China, Canada, and Indonesia.

In 2018 Ashley became one of 15 women to receive Accreditation from the Australian Cinematographer’s Society. Her work has earned a number of awards, including a coveted Gold Award from the Australian Cinematographer's Society (ACS), an AACTA Award (Aussie Oscar), a Nomination at the prestigious Camerimage Cinematography Film Festival, an invitation for membership of the Illuminatrix Collective, and one of the earliest memberships of the International Collective of Female Cinematographers (ICFC).

Ashley’s work has also been profiled in the American, Australian and British Cinematographer Magazines. See her array of Press here.

Ashley has lensed Dr Who for Bad Wolf/Disney+, Starz Lionsgate’s Dangerous Liaisons S1, Australian Academy Award-winning series The Tailings, All Creatures Great & Small S2 for Channel 5 and PBS, and set up ITV’s The Tower S2.

Ashley believes that stories can be a vehicle to create empathy, and strives to create an immersive visual experience that reflects a symbolic understanding of the project.
Aligning this with the director's vision and the comfort of performances is her specialty and joy.

Ashley speaks English and Russian, and holds an O-1 visa.
