| Amy Heller is an award-winning photographer and her photos have been exhibited and published nationally and internationally. She received a B.F.A. in Studio Art/Design from Hampshire College and an M.F.A. in Photography from The George Washington University. She is a freelance Photo Editor/Researcher and has worked for Microsoft, The Newseum, The Discovery Channel, The Washington Post, National Geographic and U.S. News & World Report. Prior to her photographic work she was an Exhibit Specialist at The National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution and The Library of Congress. She has been coming to Provincetown since she was a little girl and moved there in 2003 from Washington, DC with her husband. Amy’s motion studies examine the idea of motion and time in surreal, dreamlike images and suggest extra dimensions to our waking and sleeping lives. Initially, she researched the techniques of human locomotion photography and developed a special interest in the work of Edweard Muybridge, Etienne-Jules Marey and other practitioners of locomotion photography. Amy used the “moving film stroboscopy” method for capturing motion and the female figure as a subject as well as a foil. Currently, Amy is making cyanotype photographs on fabric, a non-traditional surface for printing. She is also photographing beach treasures collected by Provincetown artists and is transforming these everyday objects from Provincetown’s past, and reinterpreting them into her own artistic vision. Amy has always loved the unpredictability of photography, especially the “happy accidents” that occur and the way it can see the unseen. Her love of art and interest in photography is captured in the subject matter that she shoots and the printing methods that she employs. |
