Amanda creates work with a feminine sensuality that is simultaneously epic and intimate. Without an exploitative gaze, she explores the female form like a poetic motif.

Her first solo exhibition and fine art photography monograph “Pheromone Hotbox” -published by Hat & Beard Press in 2015 - depicts the state that occurs when a woman photographs another woman. Simultaneously dreamy and erotically charged, Amanda’s photographs capture the intensity and intimacy of the interaction between artist and model.
