> BIO
Amber Shields’ photography documents the unique culture found in the southern part of the United States. Raised in Texas and now living in New York, she has become acutely aware of the characteristics that make the South different from anywhere else. Guided partly by nostalgia and partly by social commentary, her photographs comment on contemporary life in the South. She received a BA in photojournalism from Loyola University in New Orleans, LA and a MFA in fine art photography from San Jose State University in San Jose, CA. Her Cadence Series was chosen for the 2005 Art and Commerce Festival of Emerging Photographers and published in Topic magazine. She currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.
