Born in Moscow in 1987 to her Russian mother Olga and Armenian father Sergey, Ashley draws on her international heritage, education and training, which gives her a unique perspective and approach to her art. At the age of seven, her family moved from Moscow to Limerick, Ireland where she adapted from Russian to English as she blended into Irish life with her older brother Nick. As a teenager, she and her mother moved to Perth, Western Australia after her parents separated and Ashley had to once again adjust to a new culture while deciding on her career path. She attended Curtin University in Perth where she gained her BA in Film & TV. From there her mother encouraged her to spend an Exchange Semester at the Ryerson University in Toronto, and then Hollywood where she earned her MFA in Cinematography at the American Film Institute Conservatory (AFI). 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).
