Hi! Thank You for Being Here
I'm Amelia, the photographer and founder behind Azure Studio - a labour of love.
Get to Know The Photographer Behind the Images
What inspires me most is simple: being out on a bright sunny day, anywhere in the world, drawn in by the architecture and nature of a new place I can't walk past without stopping to take out my camera.
An Eye for Colour
I'm also a sucker for colour - when the palette of a place works so well together it feels like an artist designed it. You'll see that obsession clearly in prints like Colours of Oia and Venetian Traffic, where the scene almost does the work for me.
Something I've only recently noticed about my own photos: I love a leading line. I don't do it on purpose, and half the time I don't even realise I'm doing it while I'm taking the photo. I think it's just years of photography eventually training my eye. You can see it quite clearly in Gateway to the Aegean Sea and Milford Sound.
And on the flip side, I've come to really appreciate dead space too, leaving room in a frame for just the ocean or the sky, just for the sake of a cleaner, more minimal look.
Day-to-Day at Home
I'd love nothing more than my days to be filled with travelling and shooting, but honestly? At home, my mornings usually include pilates, a matcha and a catch-up with friends, then a swim or a surf. I'll occasionally grab my camera or the drone and head to the beach to see if anything interesting turns up, but I'm genuinely picky about what makes it into my collections
I don't release every nice photo I take, I like to keep my collections meaningful — curated, and each print chosen because it means something or captures a specific feeling, not just because it's a nice photo.
