Amber Bachiochi Thompson is a self-portrait photographer practicing in the Oklahoma City metro. Her work often features mixed media elements and explores memory, grief, and delight.
"When I produce a series of self portraits, I let spontaneity and environmental constraints help guide the creative direction. Finding the narrative as I go as opposed to planning a work in advance helps me more authentically tether my experience to my art. In my photographs, I hope to communicate a sense of balance: between humor and sadness, vulnerability and self-assuredness, drama and resourcefulness."
