Ashley Connor is an American cinematographer who is best known for her work on films such as Madeline's Madeline , The Miseducation of Cameron Post , The Death of Dick Long , and Thou Wast Mild and Lovely . [1] She was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award in 2019 for Best Cinematography. [2]
Growing up, Ashley played a lot of sports but at the age of fifteen she damaged her knees. Following surgery, she mainly watched movies till an interest in film as a profession arose. [3] She gained major traction from one of her earlier films, Thou Wast Mild and Lovely , where she was first noticed as a great user of the handheld technique. Most of her films are primarily improvised, so she shoots conversations in a way opposite to the 'shot/reverse shot style'. [4] Her career continued to progress to the point of being a major speaker at the 2020 SXSW. [5] She's also given masterclasses for Seventh Row, most recently during the first covid lockdown. [6]
In the midst of shooting major films, she is known to shoot music videos for the likes of Jemima Kirke, Alex Cameron, [7] others. [8]
