Passionate Dramatic Creative Analytical


Cameras have always had a place in Amy Williamson’ s hands, heart, and mind. At thirty-five years old, she is a working professional; telling stories and visions through photographs and video. Amy has studied imagery, lived it, documented her travels around the world, and has found an array of inspirations. Traveling brought her much diversity of life; in places like Hawaii, New York, Indonesia and Mexico. The cultures and places expanded her mind to all the possibilities and ways of seeing and dealing with the world. With her camera, she found many exotic places and people coloring its screen and later inspired others across the world. This applied with her natural scientific mind, is part of what gives her unique and creative perspectives. With inspiration and heart, Amy aims to capture a moment in time to make one feel a story, through a vision, evoking thought and emotion. It’s not what we see, it is how we see it!
