hi, im amanda breese :)
raised in richmond now back in oakland, i’ve always been drawn to creative expression—from playing violin as a kid to discovering photography in an after-school club. what started as a source of comfort during hard times became a lasting passion, first through documenting car culture and eventually expanding into a broader exploration of art, place, and perspective.
i shoot primarily on film, with a preference for 35mm and medium format. my work focuses on finding beauty in overlooked details and honoring the stories embedded in everyday moments—whether through portraits, architecture, or the well-worn lines of an old car. for me, photography is a form of honest storytelling. i strive to keep it honest, grounded, and human.
