Future Nostalgia

I hate network TV but I love Pan Am!  Now the football season has ruined the consistency, what will happen next to the Pan AM stewardess as Spy.   Did these shots of the gorgeous Elise from MMA.  The airline hats were purchased on EBay years ago and just rediscovered them.

H.O.O.F

H.O.O.F. (Horse Owners of Fairmont) is a program designed to help take care of horses that are being mistreated due to lack of funding. Amanda has taken great interest of helping this project be recognized to the public and help create funds through her exhibition. She has taken photos, which are displayed on her website as well as at Seed of Diamond Gallery, a sustainable community gallery.   Overall her goal is to make an impact in these horses’ lives as well as the owners.  Please contact amanda@amandastevensonphoto.com to participate in the planning to transform this community.

Shuttle Daze

http://www.amandastevensonphoto.com/atlantis/
I was one of the lucky people who got to see the last Atlantis Shuttle launch in person.

This pavilion was the location of AMANDA STEVENSON PHOTO STUDIO at Space View Park.

The day before......kinda looks like a rocket.

This is the Discovery Shuttle, now used at the Kennedy Visitor Center. The compartment for the astronauts is tiny compared to the rest of the ship where the goods are stored for the Space Station drop off.

This is where everything happens.

Star Trek impersonator at the Kennedy Visitor Center, Beam me up, Scotty.

T-12:34:04: The night before the launch they lite up the ISS tower.

T-9 and counting: I made my way through the crowd to photograph all the people how had been waiting for 24hrs. to see the launch up close!

Blast off! The final mission of Atlantis will return in 12 days after delivering 4 tons of supplies (including one year of food and provisions).

2011 Tripod Initiative Showcase

I worked with a great video team at CCP guided by Jon Spielberg! Come see the unveiling of our video tonight 6:30pm at the Painted Bride!

I've gotta have it!

Here's my antique IPad, note the antique photo effect to enhance the pity factor. Didn't know what to do with it when I received it as a gift and now I don't know what I would do without it! I just entered a contest to win a IPad 2 offered by Brad’s Deals at I Am Bossy!

Faces of a New China

China, the middle kingdom, has once again evolved to have a new face, which Amanda has documented. Amanda traveled to China and experienced a whole new culture as well as a new aspect of life. While she was there she was able to photograph and videotape the lifestyle of China. The photographs depicte the hardworking chinese men on an average work day, while the videos captured the past-time for some chinese people. Minima will be representing Amanda's art work in their store located 118 North 3rd Street Philadelphia, PA 19106. The gallery will open on May 12th and end on July 30th. Come listen to Amanda at the Artist Reception on Wednesday May 11th from 5:30-8:30pm.
We would like to thank Steve Linchuk and Rob Linsalata from Agency-M for all of their time to create a spectacular invitation.

Elizabeth Hainen CD Release

Elizabeth Hainen, one of today's foremost virtuoso harpists, will be releasing her CD which we took photos, located in the Piazza at Schmidts for her CD cover and her website. During the close up for her finger work, the acoustics of our studio created this intensified vibration which I felt throughout my body. I love working with musicians to help them interpret their music visually. I was honored to work with her. I would like to thank Bart Blatstein for giving us permission to use his beautiful Piazza for our photo shoot.

Shoot of COX On YouTube

COX communication has been our client for 3 years. Now they have a new Youtube page featuring our campaign with Pete Postiglione and Neo-Pangea. Great time work!

Old City Winter 2010-2011

Since we had a very cold weather this winter, I thought that it was important to catch the moment. This is a picture of Walnut Street at night. It was our second biggest snow storm.

Featured Amanda Stevenson Photo on Chatterbox Enterprises

We have been featured on Chatterbox Enterprises by Louisa J. Curtis. Right back at you, we love you and your work also. I photographed this series of people performing water aerobics. To get the good shoots I had to strip down to my bikini to get the fish eye perspective. At the end I asked them for a group picture. It is one of my favorite.
