Photographer's Profile
Amy Ouderkirk
United States
Amy Ouderkirk’s floral portraits are striking studies of beauty and form. Through measured composition and dramatic lighting, Amy brings her subjects to life with a sense of powerful elegance. Her style is unique in her ethereal, detailed, yet minimalist capture. One can clearly see when viewing her subjects that the works of Georgia O'Keeffe, Ansel Adams and Mapplethorpe have all influenced her style of work. Amy’s photographs are the fusion of her deep appreciation of nature instilled by her parents, especially her father, a life-long love affair with photography and over 20 years of practicing graphic design. Having taken several college classes in photography in the 80s, Amy was able to establish a foundation and understanding to build from. A floral design course in Paris, France also greatly influenced her appreciation of flowers and their individuality. Amy currently resides in Florida with her husband.
