About Amanda — Motherhood Photography on Film in Málaga

I´m Amanda, a photographer based in Malaga Spain, originally from Sweden and my photography focuses on motherhood and family on film. Ambar Luna is my daughter. Her name came to us while I was carrying her in my womb, in what we experienced as magic. She gave life an entirely new meaning – and with it, my photography. So I let her name represent my photography business.

It's meaningful to portray something as emotionally charged as pregnancy and motherhood. It is powerful, it is beautiful, and it is both magical and mysterious. I've also been drawn to the female figure a long time. Before photographing I was painting bodies. I like shapes, skin, colors and light.

My way of capturing this story is mostly through analog film photography. With film photography the colors often become warmer or more dreamlike and film creates a more organic variation. Small irregularities emerge in the grain, the light, and the colors – which make the image feel more alive. With film photography you also have to have another approach, another intention and presence.

My work as a pregnancy, newborn and maternity photographer in Malaga grows from the same place as my art once did: a fascination with light, the female form and portraying. I’m drawn to the beauty of motherhood, breastfeeding, the love and connection and the authentic, messy rythm of every life.

Here in Malaga, I offer sessions for mothers and families who want images that feel true, intimate and timeless — photographs that hold the beauty of the life you are living.
