More about Amanda W....
What do you love about your job?
There's something seriously magical about translating life into an art. To capture a feeling in an authentic moment and have that tug on people's heart strings and imagination is so dearly rewarding. This is my true calling beyond passion and profession.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
Curating a variety of photoshoots for Flying Embers kombucha was a great openly creative experience. With such free for lifestyle nature scenes I took models out into the superbloom flower fields resulting in some visually wild images. For another I took friends out to model in a lifestyle setting at Salvation Mountain, and hidden desert locations for some visually striking looks.
I have created a connection portraits series in the past resulting in a beautiful series of couples, friends and family, photographing them in spaces which represents their connection to one another, and allowing a space for those connections to blossom boldly throughout the photoshoot experience.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
My photographs used on billboards in Los Angeles and Wellington NZ. As well as on the walls of Wellington airport.
