Alternative wedding and portrait photographer

In one week, I’ll be going to New York for the first time in my life. I’ve always felt that the best way to experience a city is by having a local show it to you – therefore, I think my upcoming trip is the perfect time to start a little project I’ve been dying to try out.

My project consists of meeting a creative individual from each city I visit. For half a day, I’ll tag along while this person shows me their home, their neighborhood, their favorite spots in the city, etc., while I photograph everything to document our short story together and share it with the rest of you once I’m back home.

In the beginning, I’ll start by narrowing down my choice of candidates a little – just to make things simpler…then as time goes by, and I get a little braver, I can always change my own rules!

To start with I will be looking for a creative, interesting woman who is running her own creative business. The more fun and funky she is the better. She doesn’t necessarily need to be living in some big, fancy or trendy home – all I ask for is personality, and lots of it!

She could be a musician, artist, photographer, designer, stylist, architect, independent filmmaker, writer, actress…the list goes on and on. Someone with a good story to tell, with a distinctive and personal style.

If you know anyone who you think could be interested and interesting for my little project, please email me at mail@amandathomsen.com with a couple of pictures and a short description.

This time I’m going to New York, but in the coming months I will be visiting Barcelona, Dakar, Beirut and Paris – so if you know anyone there let me know too!;)

Thank you so much and I really hope I can make this happen:)
