About Ashton

Ashton is a Filmmaker and Photographer based out of Melbourne/Naarm, Australia. Ashton grew up with a strong creative interest in a range of different art forms. Having spent his younger years with a keen interest in photography, it wasn't until he finished school that he was able to truly realise his passion for film-making. This is when he began formal study at RMIT which began his career in film. Ashton uses his eye to create unique and engaging worlds with his camera, which support the wider story and motives of every project he works on. Having completed his film studies Ashton is working towards opportunities as an assistant in the camera department, whilst maintaining his work on independent productions. Ashton brings a dedicated work ethic, strong technical understanding, and a keen visual eye to every project, and is eager to contribute and learn from experienced crew in high-level productions.
