"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still."
Dorothea Lange
Amanda York
Photographer York Imagery
With a profound reverence for the natural world, fueled by a fervent passion for artistic expression, through the craft of photography, I hope to immortalize tranquil moments found in the world around us. I hope to inspire my viewers to have a deeper connection and a higher compassion for the planet we all call home. Venturing into entrepreneurship with York Imagery, my ultimate aspiration is to establish a gallery where not only my work but also the creations of fellow artists find a welcoming space to share their creative vision.
A Little Bit of Background
Embarking on my photographic journey from an early age with a 35mm film camera, I uncovered a creative outlet that allowed me to convey my vision through the lens. Beginning in high school, I naturally gravitated towards a journalistic approach, immersing myself in the yearbook team to chronicle the myriad events shaping our school community. Progressing into college, I delved into videography and film production, honing my skills by producing an array of short films and music videos.
A pivotal chapter unfolded during a year-long internship at the Country Music Association in Nashville, TN. Here, I refined my craft by capturing live performances and events, while also contributing to the editing process of the prestigious CMA Awards program book.
Transitioning from the lively atmosphere of Nashville to the tranquil shores of the New Jersey coast, I discovered that coastal landscapes reignited my passion for wildlife and scenic photography. I am deeply committed to the art of photography and motivated by a desire to share my unique perspective with others.
