Bio

Amy Ouderkirk’s floral portraits are striking studies of beauty and form. Through measured composition and dramatic lighting, Amy brings her subjects to life with a sense of powerful elegance. Her style is unique in her ethereal, detailed, yet minimalist capture. By using a macro lens and stacking the photos (many images combined into one), the viewer is able to explore the complexities and extraordinary details and that are often not visible. One can clearly see when viewing her subjects that the works of Mapplethorpe, Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams have all influenced her style of work. Amy has received numerous international awards and accolades for her photographs.
