About Ashlyn Anderson
Ashlyn Anderson, a Junior from McKinney, Texas, is the creative mind behind Hard Tuesdays. The origins of this project trace back two years, when Ashlyn began posting a single meme that 'went hard' to her Snapchat story every Tuesday. What started as a lighthearted experiment quickly gained traction, with friends eagerly anticipating each new post. The overwhelming positive response fueled Ashlyn’s passion, pushing her to expand beyond memes and into the realm of photography.
As Hard Tuesdays evolved, it became a collection of striking photos that capture the raw, authentic moments of the events Ashlyn attends. With her camera always by her side, she’s dedicated to visual storytelling that resonates with the energy and emotion of each experience. Today, Hard Tuesdays stands as a testament to Ashlyn’s commitment to preserving these moments through carefully crafted imagery, with the project continuing to grow and evolve.
