Journalist And Photographer

Ashleigh Wilson Jpg

Ash became a freelance automotive journalist with Street Machine in 2019, after spending seven years behind the camera photographing industry VIPs and events. Her love of cars and cameras has taken her across the continent shooting burnout competitions and drag racing, and to the USA where she took her talents to the streets. Following her long flirtation with street steel, Ash began both writing and photographing a variety of automotive events across Queensland for print and online, and found herself back on the burnout pad when she joined the SM team to cover Summernats 33 from both sides of the camera.
