Sometimes the best gifts have a history. Amy Neufeld’s introduction to the world of photography began early when she received a hand-me-down Nikkormat SLR camera. This gift ignited a passion for capturing moments, leading her to study photography at art school. There, she discovered a fascination with special effects and filters—a trend emerging just as home computers were starting to revolutionize the art form. Neufeld’s creativity also flourished in the darkroom, where she honed her skills with tangible materials.

In the modern digital landscape, Neufeld feels liberated to fully express her artistic visions. She embraces the flexibility of contemporary photography, allowing each image to dictate its final version. While some photographs receive minimal processing, others undergo extensive alterations through filters, effects, and texture layers. For Neufeld, technical perfection is less important than the emotional resonance and intuitive quality of her work.

Life hasn’t been without challenges; yet photography has served as a powerful tool for Neufeld, enabling her to capture the beauty of her surroundings while grounding her in the present moment. Her subject matter reflects her diverse local environments; whether hiking in the woods, strolling through city streets, or exploring her own backyard, Neufeld finds magic.
