ABOUT

Amber Maalouf is a fine art photographer with a BFA in Creative Photography based in Los Angeles. Her Fine Art background allows her to pursue every photographic field imaginable, fusing her analogue upbringing with digital. As a second generation Chihuahuan artist, Amber has been transitioning to commercial work and photojournalism while maintaining integrity to her personal work.

Her relationship with her twin sister largely defined her first body of work- being both symbiotic and parasitic in nature. The series narrated what it felt like to lack identity when together but being incomplete apart- which has been a running trope to this day. Fear of death and trepidation have been a propellant in her work, as you can often find her putting herself in perilous situations that light heartedly acknowledge with one wrong unforeseen occurrence – it could always be worse.

With more than 4 years experience volunteering in wildlife sanctuaries and local stray placement programs, her work has widened to documenting themes related to human relationships with biodiversity and empathy for animals. Specifically, she hopes to help people recognize that preserving our natural world starts the second you walk out your front door.
