Ashleigh Castro

Ashleigh is a young, stealthy photographer who grew up on a healthy dose of punk, funk, hip-hop and rock n roll. Shooting musicians since the age of 14, she developed an eye for capturing passionate moments. The first concert she remembers was No Doubt, Cake and the Vandals at Arco Arena in 1997 and most memorable concert was Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s acoustic set at Great American Music Hall in 2008. Her personal projects chronicle bay-area bands including the Coup, who published their work on their single cover. After graduating SFSU, Ashleigh has spent much time working at a San Francisco photo lab and worked for a few years as the content, office and photography manager for DOPE Magazine's Southwestern Region. Ashleigh's analog taste creates photographs that emphasize timeless emotion. Find her in the pit!
