| Amanda Eliasch studied at The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts and
then at the Black and White Photography school before embarking on
her photographic career.
Amanda has exhibited in several London based galleries including The Black and White Gallery, The Cork Street Gallery and the Proud Galleries, where her work was well received by the public and critics. ‘Her striking black and white photography, exposes our obsession with vanity, sex and the ideal female form. Preferring natural light sources to maximise her subjects’ features, she captures their serenity, humour and vitality’. The Evening Standard said “Her stunning, sexy photographs exude glamour and gusto… She’s at her best with her stylish confident images of nude models”. Michael Comte, Bob Carlos Clarke and Charles Saatchi are among those who have praised her photographic style and she has been likened to Man Ray, Meret Oppenheim and Cartier-Bresson. Above all she is herself. Amanda’s latest project demonstrates a new and exciting direction with the publication of her first book ‘British Artists at Work’. The book commissioned by Franza Sozzani of Italian Vogue, captures
four generations of artists from the established to the emerging.
Amanda photographed 46 artists in their studios including Tracey
Emin, Gary Hume, Gavin Turk, Sam Taylor-Wood, Tim Noble and Sue Webster,
Marc Quinn, Anish Kapoor, Rachael Whiteread, Jenny Saville, Gilbert
and George and Turner Prize nominee for 2003 Grayson Perry. Amanda’s
photographs are set alongside a personal diary of her experiences
on each shoot. |
