In a heartfelt Instagram post, Amanda reflected on her journey from law school to the world of photography.

She wrote, “I still can’t fully grasp this moment, but I am beyond honoured and incredibly grateful to be recognised with this prestigious award. If you had told me just 8 years ago that I’d be standing here, I wouldn’t have believed you.” Her story highlights the power of perseverance and following one’s passion despite challenges.

Amanda also thanked her creative team, including model @alek_maleek, makeup artist @dalila_mua, stylist @stylebyco, designer @t.yang_25, and hair stylist @deborahlola, expressing gratitude for their support in bringing her vision to life.

Her journey from law to award-winning photographer stands as a powerful reminder for all artists to believe in their vision, as Amanda says, “Your voice, your vision, and your creativity matter more than you know.”
