Faryl Amadeus is a filmmaker with roots in visual arts. As an interior photographer, in her hometown of New York City, she worked with many renowned architects and designers. Now calling Los Angeles home, she has fallen in love with the stark light and shadows of the infamous California town.
“I describe the feeling- the NEED to photograph something, like a crush. I feel bewitched by texture. Walls constantly call to me. I am obsessed with crumbling paint and the feeling of rich isolation. I love power lines against a blue sky. There’s something incredible about California and the light. It’s relentless. I almost never photograph people. I love empty spaces. I think it comes from growing up in such a crowded, busy town. It’s those moments of emptiness that I treasure. I come alive catching places uninhabited. The beauty in a tattered coiled rope in the street, or the reflection of a palm tree in a puddle, it is miraculous to me how much love I feel for these beautiful objects in space.”
