Amanda Majors is an LA based portrait and fine art photographer from Fort Worth, Texas. She is a graduate from California Institute of the Arts with a degree in Photo & Media.

Amanda has studied with the Goss Michael Foundation, Madison Style, Mouche Gallery & Lauren Greenfield. She has also formed a strong partnership with the Nuart Theatre to create film industry portraits.

Fascinated by the human experience she finds photography a way to connect. With skills in transcending barriers, a love of the underdog, an appreciation for the counterculture and a flare of creativity, her focus is to bring self-expression and empowerment to her subjects through collaborative, mutually beneficial photo shoots.

Amanda excels at the highly refined and yet adores the unseen and the unvisited. She is very good at piecing together things that are not generally associated with each other.

Amanda also believes in the importance of fantasy. Many of her photos are shot at home with collected antiques, latex & old items. Her self-portrait series allows her to re-establish a power that isn’t always present in the real world and to have moments of catharsis.

Amanda largely believes the personal is political.
