In this week's episode Nadine chats with Ottawa portrait, brand, and commercial photographer Amanda Thirkill about road-trip music, growing up in Sudbury with summers on Manitoulin Island, and how her dad's film-camera candids sparked her love of photography and shaped how she positions herself behind the lens.
Having previously worked with Amanda, Nadine was most curious to talk about her process and how she not only captures an image, but manages to capture the humanness in each of her subjects. Taking great care to set folks at ease, Amanda has a gift of creating trust, comfort, and a sense of spontaneity in even the most well-curated shoots.
We talk about the vulnerability of being perceived, and why it's so hard, yet so incredibly important, to have your photo taken – to capture yourself just as you are and show the world how you want to be seen.
Amanda is a wealth of knowledge, inspiration and vulnerability, sharing the life experiences that shaped her, and giving us a sneak peek into her growing International Women's Day portrait series, the third of which she just shot this past Sunday, March 8th, on IWD. This beautiful series is her brainchild and brings together an incredible community of talented women to help support, celebrate and lift other women they've met along the way.
