Amanda’s portfolio spans fashion editorials, beauty shoots, brand campaigns, and personal branding projects. Her work with global powerhouses like Disney, BBC, Warner Bros, Pantene, and Superdrug, alongside collaborations with top international celebrities, has positioned her as a leader in her field. Amanda’s work has also graced the pages of British Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Forbes, Tatler, Cosmopolitan, and Grazia, while earning features on ITV News, Channel 5 News, and The Daily Mail.
