Amanda is more than a photographer—she is a guide, an artist, and a space-holder for profound liberation. Having spent most of her life afraid to speak up and be seen, baring her naked skin to the sky has proven to be a deep and rich medicine that has transformed her life.
As a nude-in-nature photographer, she invites you to explore your most authentic self, embracing the raw beauty of your body and naked human journey. With over a decade of experience as a movement artist, teaching yoga and belly dance,
Amanda understands the deep connection between the body, emotion, and expression. As many do, she spent years repressing her own emotions.

Every offering she creates—whether through photography, movement, or sound—is rooted in the belief that you are an alchemist, capable of turning pain into power, shame into liberation, and fear into freedom.
