My Bio
|
Amy Touchette is a freelance documentary photographer based in New York City. She received photography training at the International Center of Photography, where she now works as a teacher’s assistant. She is also a painter, and her most recent series, 72” x 36” oil-on-canvas realist portraits of jazz musicians, were seeds for the similarly bold, black-and-white aesthetic in her current photography essays of New York City’s burlesque revival. She was recently commissioned by the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning to document Jackson Heights and Far Rockaway neighborhoods in Queens, New York City. The resulting photography essays will exhibit in April 2009. She is currently at work on several personal projects, including a color portrait essay about likeness. She is represented by June Bateman Fine Art.
