I am a photographer and have just finished a book of Poetry written on my Blackberry called Cloak and Dagger Butterfly. It would not have been possible without the help of Enrico Navarra. We started with a project called 'Made by Indians', and with his support with the help of the Chipmunka Foundation I am where I am. Other books include Made by Brazilians and British Artists at Work. I have shown with the Proud Galleries, and two other private shows one with Mark Brazier-Jones and Oriel Harwood and one wth Cat de Rham.

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.
