photography

a collection of work by Amber Ward

Designer

I was born

into the newspaper industry and developed a remarkable work ethic. One which probably contributed to the design of my first ad in grade 4.

Along the way

I studied Visual Communications in Canada and entered the work-force as a bright eyed, college graduate.

You can now find me

at Tightrope Media Systems. My full time gig as designer allows me to wear many hats (print, web, packaging design and oh so much more) I am always available for freelance opportunities.

Fine Artist

When most kids were

still painting by numbers or scribbling on the wall with crayon, I chose a paintbrush and a canvas and created my first piece at age 5.

After college

I began taking art more seriously and went on to win 1st place for "Homage", was involved with "Emerging Talent" an exhibit in Portsmouth, NH, and continued to exhibit around the New England area until moving to Minneapolis in 2007.

What am I doing now?

Experimenting with pen/ink and acrylic on plexi-glass.

Photographer

I first picked up a camera

in grade 12 and shot a series of photos with the great Saskatchewan landscape as my backdrop.

I later

picked up a few photography classes in college, landed a job with a photographer, and developed an eye for composition and a respect for the frame that I use to this day.

So now,

whether I am operating a film, video or still camera, I have what it takes to get that perfect shot, even if it means standing on my head to get it.

Filmmaker

It happened one night…

while working at a photography studio, I realized I wanted the still images to come to life. I decided to enroll in the Vancouver Film School, and upon graduating, moved to the United States.

As of late,

I have a feature-length documentary under my belt and continue to keep busy on set as art director, production photographer, and marketing designer. To discover a little bit more about me and my film work visit
