Hi, I’m Amanda, nice to meet you!
'Honoring the light in humanity and the magic of each moment.'
FESTIVALS. EVENTS. WEDDINGS. LIFESTYLE.
From Wellington, NZ. Based between California & New Zealand. Open for worldwide!
Mandala in Sanskrit signifies 'circle of the spirit', representing universal connectivity, generating illumination and radiating vibrant energy.
Like that of the mandala, life is one whole interconnected pattern.
Embodying the essential qualities of the mandala, my vision and photographs breathe such elements of light, love, energy and connection.
Attuned to the light in each soul, the emanating atmosphere of a space, and the interactive magnetism between people, I fall in awe remembering life is one harmonious whole, holding immense gratitude to passionately bring it all into an art form.
Acting on a momentary spark and reflecting an intuitive instantaneous feeling and vision, my impassioned eye is drawn to quickly capture, or rather 'honor' the candid authentic expression and energy of individuals, reflecting the epitome of their essence, and the colorful character within all.
My camera is my passport to discovery, my gateway to connection and experience, landing me amidst the motions of a moment, as I dance the rhythms of life instinctively immersing myself in the heart of the action. Like that of nature, grounded I become in the synchronistic flurry of life- evolving, growing, transforming, like a wildflower unfolding in the newness of a sunrise.
Get in touch, let's make magic! x
