​Discovering photography in her teens as a way to exit an overcrowded psych class in high school, Amber enrolled in her first photography course. As an undergraduate at Oakland University, she spent time in the darkroom exploring analogue and alternative photographic processes. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Photography and Education, Amber taught high school photography. During this time, she earned a Masters in Educational studies, exhibited her work, and managed an art gallery in Connecticut. In 2015, Amber moved to NYC where she taught at the School of Visual Arts and served as the Curriculum Coordinator in the BFA Photography and Video Department. Amber continues exploring photographic techniques using large format cameras to capture landscapes. Her current projects include, Please Rush Like Hell documenting over 150 found letters from the 1940’s and 50 Plates in 50 States, capturing landscape of trees using the wet plate collodion process to make glass negatives. ​
