Ama Lea Photography

Ama Lea is an American Photographer, who's work mainly consists of 50's style pin-up photography, with a modern twist.

She uses fantastic, vivid colour in her work. Her playful photography is in a style I am very much interested in myself.

I have found some images that link well with my brief, and include food in fashion and beauty photography. I would like to use food in this playful, colourful way.


The bubblegum colours associated with candy are vibrant, and cute. This innocent use of colour mixed with the sexiness of the models make for really powerful images.


This style of photography is particularly loved by women, but it is still sexy; it's a classic style that truly stands the test of time.



I would like to respond to "Food - Eat Your Eyes Out" in an equally playful way.

Audrey Kitching is one of my favourite models, she herself looks good enough to eat. I'd like the whole of my images to look edible... maybe they could be? I could print some on cupcakes!! :o) And then take photo's of people eating my photo's?! How exciting!!

Anyway I love this composition of Audrey Kitching shot by Ama Lea, I'd love to do something similar but have my model surrounded by cupcakes and candy.... sugar heaven.
