all about me

Amara is six years old and has never once been asked to smile twice. Her first studio session was meant to be a quick test shoot; forty minutes later the photographer had twelve completely different faces from one small girl in one denim skirt, and three of them went straight into a casting deck. She has been working ever since.

She is built for studio work: campaigns, kidswear lookbooks and anything that needs personality delivered on cue. Ask her for happy and you get sunshine; ask her for cross and you get a tiny film star folding her arms like the brief owes her money. Clients call her a one-take kid. Her mum would like the record to show she is a seventeen-take kid at bedtime.

This page is run by her mum. School comes first, shoots stay short and fun, and her afro is styled by us or by artists who know what they're doing with textured hair - it's part of who she is and it photographs like a crown.
