This is me

Hi, my name is Amy-Joy.

I am the Founder and main photographer at A Champion Photography.

My Story

As far back as I can remember I have had a camera in my hands, photographing everything that I could.

I discovered that photography is a great passion of mine when I took it as part of my Visual Arts class in High School. At the end of grade twelve I was awarded the "Coenen Trophy for Photography."

After school I pumped my creative juices at The SA School of Weddings, I learnt a lot about the wedding and event industry in my time at the school and now use this to assist in my photography journey.

After my experience in event styling and planning I ventured back to my first love and took a course in Digital Photography at Unicollege, gaining more experience and confidence with my camera.

I have a great attention to detail which I feel is very important in a photographer. I also feel that my experience in visual arts and wedding planning has given me a uniquely creative way of viewing the world .

I am a huge fan of real-life photos and prefer capturing candid pictures of events and people. Those in-the-moment kind of photos have a very special place in my heart. I am in love with capturing peoples real, honest emotions in my photographs.

"Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
