Amy Martin, born and raised in the Arizona, is a documentary photographer focusing on conservation and social issues in her home region and abroad. Though her images, she hopes to increase awareness, understanding and compassion across geographic and social barriers. She hopes to spark change in perception by creating pathways of connection to those denied a platform. Amy has recently completed projects documenting the issue of statelessness on the Dominican/Haitian border, the experience of farm workers on the Arizona/Mexico border and collaborative portraitures of those that have been denied immigration documentation. Amy brings depth to her work from her diverse background as a former Peace Corps volunteer in Dominican Republic, a Park Ranger and river guide at Grand Canyon, and a conservation biologist in the American Southwest. She also recognizes the importance of visual creation and sharing of images during this time in global connectivity, and has begun creating and teaching Identity Through Photography workshops to children in diverse communities. She believes that there should be space created for individuals to tell their own stories, regardless of circumstance. Her work has received recognition through numerous awards and grants and been shared in exhibitions, locally and globally..
