Introducing Ash Lane , New Art Director of The Triibe

The Triibe's New Art Director: Ash Lane

The TRiiBE is thrilled to welcome Ash Lane, visionary photographer and graphic designer, to the team as its first art director.

“Photography begins with my ethics. Creating compositions that are aesthetic to the eye, while being present to capture the impact of our human experiences, is vital,” Lane said. “Taking care of other’s experiences is a gift and a huge responsibility of visual storytelling. It is very important to me as a photographer, and as a creative person, to create content that connects with each individual’s intentions.”

As a photographer, she has worked with nonprofits such as Openlands, Chicago Cultural Alliance, and Open Books. She’s also worked with Red Bull for their festival, Sueños.

In 2020, she began working with The TRiiBE as a freelance photographer, under her artist pseudonym ANF Chicago. Since then, she’s joined The TRiiBE in covering the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) student protest around COVID-19, former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s midterm anniversary sit-down interview, an award-winning sit-down interview with Chance the Rapper, and, most recently, our coverage of Noname’s Sundial Block Party.
