Hi, I’m Ashley!

A woman with black and red box braids, a white dotted top, and blue turquoise earrings stands smiling in front of a window.

When I’m not capturing photography for personal projects, I provide portraits, headshots, event photography, and brand photography for clients.

As a Graduate student in Communication studies, I’ve also been able to direct, write, and be a cinematographer for short films.

In my free time I love to binge-watch movies, write and read in Montreal parks, and discover new book stores.

Feel free to contact me by email at ashleymerlov[at]gmail[dot]com for freelance work!

You can also keep in touch by connecting with me on LinkedIn or Instagram.

Thank you for reading,

Ashley

I’m a Montreal-based creative with 3+ years of experience in brand strategy, social media management, digital marketing, and photography.

Since 2021, I’ve helped companies, agencies, personal brands, and nonprofits connect with their audiences through visual and written online content.

This portfolio primarily showcases my creative work. I’ve been behind the camera since I was ten years old and love adding my visual style to everyday surroundings to make them feel cinematic.
