Born in Holland of English/Dutch descent, photographer Amanda Lane took her formal photographic training at the Royal College of Art, London. Whilst at the RCA Amanda specialized in 19th Century printing techniques and became an expert in fine printing, acting as a consultant for many photographers. Sensitized to the chemicals, Amanda was awarded a scholarship from the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust, presented by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002 to transform all her skills to Digital. Since graduating with a Master’s Degree Amanda has accepted commissions from Vogue, The Sunday Times, Music Industry, Corporate Institutions and Private Individuals. The commissions utilize her skills as a photographer and draw upon her printing expertise, thus making her work quite unique.
In 2004 Amanda relocated to California spending 14 years creating photography for the Wine Industry, Silicon Valley and many non-profits including local Organic and Bio Dynamic Farmers, Dance and Theater.
Amanda recently moved to Upstate New York where she is renovating a Greek Revival Church to be utilized as a live-work Photography and Printmaking Studio. In the meantime Amanda has a studio in the historic Franklin Square, downtown Saratoga Springs and is open by appointment for Portrait Sittings.
