Publications

Since I picked up the camera two years ago, I've been very blessed with opportunities to have my work printed in calendars, CD's, magazines, book covers and even posters in Tokyo Japan! Saying that I am grateful would be an understatement.

I'd like to take this time to post some of my publications and give thanks to those who made it possible.

The "Leading Ladies 2008 Calendar" was actually my very first photo shoot! I only had my camera, which at that time was my Canon Digital Rebel, for a little over a month. I was approached by a very cool girl, Manique Singleton, about shooting for the calendar. What really inspired me to take her up on the offer was that the calendar would raise money for breast cancer awareness.

The stunning lady you see on the cover is Gena. Not only was this my first shoot, it was her's as well. To make a long story short...we made the cover :) Thank you Manique & Gena!

Now, if you've been following my work from the beginning then you know this fellow....Lollipop!

If you plan a trip to Tokyo Japan then you might see his poster hanging in pet stores & animal clinics. I was contacted by Anicom Pet Insurance in Tokyo to use my image of Lollipop. This particular photo also won me second place on BetterPhoto. Thank you James from Anicom & BP!

Meet Malcolm Singleton....

He's a very talented songwriter/singer/guitar player...not to mention a nice and genuine person! I was so happy to have worked with Malcolm and to have the opportunity to shoot for his CD "Be There". This was my very first CD to photograph and design as well. It was such a pleasure getting to know Malcolm, his wife Mollie and his parents! Listen to Malcolm's music here: www.myspace.com/malcolmsingleton Thank you Malcolm, Diane & Daniel Beard!

Next up are two talented individuals that I was introduced to by producer, Daniel Beard. Prince Damons & PW The Poet were great to work with!

Listen to Prince's music here: www.myspace.com/princedamons & Pat's poetry here: www.myspace.com/pwthepoet . Thank you Prince, Pat & Daniel!

What can I say about McKenzie Lockhart? I think she's awesome! Her lyrics, vocals and uber cool personality have made me a fan! I am so happy to be apart of her CD "The Sound Of Pindrops". You must visit her site: www.myspace.com/mckenzielockhart. Her music has already been played on WTAK in Huntsville! Thank you Kenz, Cheryl & once again Daniel Beard for sending the Lockhart's my way!

My latest publication is for Alabama Music Magazine. What an honor! I was thrilled to shoot the cover for their inaugural issue. I'd like to thank Chief Editor, Bonnie Bak, for the opportunity. I look forward to working with Bonnie and the magazine for many issues to come! Get a subscription for the magazine here: http://www.alabamamusicmag.org/

I've been real busy lately editing and organizing my latest photo shoots. I have some behind the scene shots that I'd like to share.

I recently had the opportunity to shoot the band Fly-By Radio. They were as fun to work with on the set as they are to watch on stage! All the members, Pacey, Matt, Brent and Wes were more than willing to do whatever it took to get the perfect shot. At one point, Pacey was jumping from a set of stairs up into the splits in mid-air! They even hung upside down from monkey bars! I have to say it was hands down one of the funnest shoots I've been apart of. We had a neat location too. It was at an abandoned school house that has been condemned for 10 years or so. Talk about "old school" :) I had wanted to get inside the school but due to liability issues, we weren't able to. The outside was great too though! I look forward to posting the results from our session. Here now, are a few of the behind-the-scene shots:

If you haven't already heard of Fly-By Radio then you should check out their sites and definitely one of their shows: http://www.flybyradio.com/ and www.myspace.com/flybyradio . They are awesome!

I also had a shoot in mid-April with singer/songwriter McKenzie Lockhart. Talk about a cool chic! She was so laid back and very easy to work with. She wore a pair of red converse and a vintage navy blue button-up coat. Her outfit was as unique as her singing voice. I have just fallen in love with her music. Here's her link: http://www.myspace.com/mckenzielockhart Also, here's some behind-the-scene shots:

Check my website gallery frequently for the edited photos from these shoots and my myspace page www.myspace.com/amandachapmanphotography

My next shoot will be this Monday with Angela Hacker, James LeBlanc and Dylan LeBlanc. This will be my second session with Angela and James and my first to work with Dylan. I will be posting some behind the scene shots from this shoot as well.

I'm also announcing the opening of my new online store! www.cafepress.com/amandachapman I have t-shirts, bags, journals, mugs...etc. If you have a favorite image from my gallery that you'd like to have on one of these items, send me a message and I will add it to my store! Also, if you have a print request from my gallery send me an email: amandachapmanphotography@yahoo.com

Thank you so much for checking out my work, reading my words and supporting me in general!

Peace, love and photography

Amanda

Spring is in bloom and so is my photography business! I've been such a busy bee lately and I wanted to take this time to give you the scoop on my latest work. In March, I had the opportunity to team of with an amazing makeup artist, Jennifer of Glamour Addict http://www.glamour-addict.com/. We recruited models Aubie and Tori and had a successful session! We were pleased to have fashion designer Mario Alberto Couture http://www.marioalbertocouture.com/ contribute several pieces for the shoot.

A second project I would like to share is with Nashville Star winner Angela Hacker and singer/songwriter James LeBlanc. They were so much fun to work with. Both Angela and James were naturals in front of the lens as they are on stage in front of thousands of fans!

I also had the opportunity to shoot the cover for Alabama Music Magazine's inaugural issue. The cover will feature Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and is due to be released mid April. Due to the fact the band is on their US tour, the shoot had to take place backstage before one of their gigs at The Mercy Lounge in Nashville, TN. Backstage was intense with an entourage of wardrobe stylists, publicists, other band members of opening acts.... To top it all off, the only lighting was supplied by a simple floor lamp and my session time was very limited. From the first moment I snapped the shutter to the very last flash to fill the room was a total of 14 minutes. I'm happy despite all the obstacles, I pulled off the cover for the magazine!

I will be posting images from my shoot with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit when the magazine hits the stands!

A HEADS UP: My future posts will include musicians Fly-By Radio, McKenzie Lockhart, Marty & Anna Lewis and more from my fashion shoot with Glamour Addict!

Thanks for reading :)
