Amanda is a Photographer, Social Media Manager, Videographer, Editor, Graphic Designer, Producer and Creative Director. Specializing in digital and film photography processes and carrying her Polaroid impulse with her wherever she goes._______________________________From the vivid memories of anticipation at Black’s, waiting to see if each captured moment on film turned out just right, to the cherished times spent with my father, sorting through photographs to preserve under the plastic film of our albums—my journey in photography is deeply rooted in the art of preservation. It’s the thrill of capturing a moment, knowing it’s preserved for a lifetime, that fuels my passion.Born and raised in Brampton, ON, I am an award-winning photographer whose lens is drawn to the vibrant spheres of music, sports, love, and fashion. My photography is not just about capturing images; it’s about documenting the essence of the moment, preserving the feeling, the story, the impermanence, allowing us to revisit and relive.With a rich heritage that intertwines the resilience of my Serbian and Irish roots, I am the eldest daughter of Nada and Gerry, and the granddaughter of Marta, Luka, Mary, and Victor. My life's journey navigates through the complexities of intergenerational trauma and familial addiction, elements that have profoundly shaped my perspective and my work.A connoisseur of sports, travel, art, music, and history, my fascination with the world and its interconnected stories led me toward documentary photography. This path wasn't just chosen; it was a calling. My background as an educator and psychotherapist has ingrained a deep-seated compassion for the human experience in all its diverse forms, infusing my work with empathy and understanding.With over 20 years of experience, my expertise spans digital, film, and Polaroid photography. I’ve had the privilege of working across various industries, partnering with clients that range from the Raptors 905 and NBA Summer League to the WNBA and Foot Locker Canada. Currently, I am contributing my vision and skills as an Associate Producer at CBC Sports.
