Amanda Hough is a photographer based in Boone, North Carolina, whose work centers on presence, atmosphere, and the charged moments that moments that often pass unnoticed Working across live music, performance, street photography, and nature, she is drawn to to honest moments, expressive light, and the details that give a place or person its character.

Amanda’s performance photography captures the energy of live music - from charged moments on stage to the quiet focus behind the scenes - while her portrait work explores personality and connection. In the street and outdoors, Amanda turns her attention to everyday scenes, landscapes, textures, movement, and the unexpected moments found by simply paying attention.

Shooting on both digital and film, Amanda works with a Canon Rebel T3 alongside a collection of vintage cameras including a Pentax K1000, Iloca Aut-O-Matic, and Holga 120N. Across each medium, her images are attentive to light, texture, and movement.

Her work is also shaped by a deeply personal piece of equiptment: a hand-me-down Asahi Pentax 135mm lens that once belonged to her grandfather. That connection to memory and history carries through in her photography - whether shes documenting a performer, a person, a street corner, or a landscape.
