A course by Amy Currell
Amy Currell is a photographer and director who lives and works in East London. She always knew she wanted to make a career out of photography and won her first contests at 13 and 15 years old, further cementing the idea. Nevertheless, she earned a degree in history before going on to pursue her passion. She started by assisting other still life photographers on set, which is where she truly learned the fundamentals of the craft and honed her skills with practical, hands-on experience.
Feeling the need to make her own way, Amy decided to open her own studio, where she works across editorial and commercial projects. In addition to being a Leica Ambassador, she has collaborated with brands such as Vogue, Tatler, Liberty London, and Selfridges, as well as publications like ELLE and The Telegraph. She also created an award-winning campaign for IKEA that propelled her to ranking among Spotlights’ Top 10 Advertising Photographers.
