For nearly 10 years I’ve collaborated with Nel Shelby Productions as a videographer, editor and producer. During my time with NSP, I’ve gotten to work with clients such as Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, New York City Center, The Juilliard School, Vail Dance Festival, Ballet Hispanico, A.I.M. and so many more. From documenting performances, serving as the in-house video team for the Vail Dance Festival, making both short and long form documentaries, producing digital performances - it feels like we’ve done it all!

About Ashli
I grew up in dance studios, spending all of my free-time training, creating choreography and cultivating this form of self-expression. When it came time to apply to colleges, I asked myself what else am I called to study? that will allow me to still express myself creatively but expand my career options. I remember taking a video production class in high school and feeling like the creative process of editing was the closest to choreographing- I was instantly hooked.
While attending Emerson College, majoring in video production, I interned for Sony Music Entertainment, SPOT Editorial, Gallim Dance and in the video documentation department at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival- where for the first time I was able to fuse my love for movement and film. Upon graduating in 2013 I moved to New York City to begin working as a dance videographer and editor for Nel Shelby Productions.

I love seeing where this work takes me and my camera. I am so beyond grateful for all the companies, individuals and institutions that trust me to tell their stories.
