About
I am an Australian photographer and Illustrator, based in Melbourne.
Photography is my passion, enabling me to create my vision of the unconventional side of life, using conceptual imagery, as well as traditional portraiture, landscape and still life forms.
After completing my Bachelor of Photography at Photography Studies College in Melbourne 2013, I have since then produced projects which have received numerous awards and exhibitions.
All my work is available for sale. Please email me at info@ambermccaig.com for any enquires.
