—  About me, social media, and how to get in touch

 

I like grain (both carb and film varieties).

 
 

Ok so who is "Amanda Kolstedt" and why should I jump in front of a camera for her?

I'm a 30-something, night sky loving, '90s grunge and flannel addict who semi believes in astrology and has a strong penchant for occultic imagery while being a devoutly bible-believing Christian. I'm not a fan of ideologies; I like the imperfect, and I like a little chaos and a little darkness in my work. I have a degree in photography with an emphasis in photojournalism and portraiture. When I graduated college I had the full intention of becoming a war photographer - My first taste of photography as a career came in the Democratic Republic of Congo and I immediately fell in love with the visual medium of storytelling and the opportunity to help people see things they wouldn't have known to look for from the outside. Soon after graduating I got married and realized the in-the-line-of-fire career I'd picked out wasn't an option anymore, so I took the journalistic style I'd been working with and started documenting the most special, chaotic times of people's lives, helping them see parts of their story they may not have known to look for in the bustle.

So let's make something rad. Let's go document what brings you joy, what you're working on, what scares you, what excites you. Let's get real and forget the pretense. Let's get vulnerable and show the world how it's done. Let's climb a mountain or book some studio time. Let's talk about what you want to share with the world, or what you want to create just for yourself. Let's make it happen.
