Wren Ashby is a photographer working between the studio and the outdoors.

Wren Ashby is a photographer who moves between controlled studio light and unpredictable daylight — a portrait session in front of seamless paper one week, a barbershop chair or a mountain trail the next.

Wren is drawn to the small, unplanned moment inside a bigger shoot: the pause before a client sees their new haircut, the way light lands on a face outdoors, the quiet of a landscape once everyone else has gone home.

Recent work includes a series shot for a local barbershop's own portfolio, alongside ongoing personal projects in nature and outdoor portraiture.

When not shooting, Wren is usually scouting a new trail, restringing a thrifted film camera, or reorganizing a hard drive of images that badly needs it.
