Artist Portraits

Merging my love of music, movement, and photography

Creating together

I am deeply inspired by the interplay of rhythm, music, and motion, and I aim to create images that are both captivating and evocative.

These portraits are not just snapshots; they aim to capture the essence of the artist's creativity, passion, and unique artistic expression.

Nothing but a wisp

For years, I've battled feelings of inferiority, often comparing my behind-the-scenes struggles to others' highlight reels. Despite knowing my strengths, I tend to focus on my weaknesses, seeking not just validation but true contentment in my work. As a photographer, I've grappled with balancing artistic passion and commercial success.

For this shoot, I wanted to highlight Sara’s raw talent against the powerful, breaking waves at sunrise. The scene was set for something truly special, and it did not disappoint. As the sun began to rise, casting a warm glow over the ocean, Sara's movements blended beautifully with the natural surroundings. It was like watching a dance between her and the sea.

I had the honor to be photographed by one of the best eyes in South Florida! Who not only has a passion for photography, but for capturing that moment of magic when artists perform! Musicians, dancers, performers in South Florida, I invite you to check Amanda Smith’s work and consider giving yourself the gift of being captured in your essence with somebody that will give you the freedom to be yourself and would make you feel super comfortable in the set!!

As a performing artist myself creativity and passion are the two most essential traits I look for in a photographer. Amada has both of these in every aspect of her work, both in studio and on performances. I highly recommend hiring her for an amazing photo experience!

Besides her artistry and meticulous eye for details, Mindy is fun, engaging, and makes every minute of the session relaxed and exciting. She did a fantastic job incorporating our genre of music and original style into the shoot: simply by seeing her photos, you really get the flavor of our band. She took the time to learn our sound and even incorporate lyrics into the session! Now we just have to make sure she’s cool with joining us on tour She’s the best of the best!
