Amy has been interested in photography since she was young. In June of 2010 she visited a cave for the first time and fell in love with the exploration and discovery that caving provides. Being a hobby photographer at the time, she wanted to document her travels but did not wish to risk her expensive dSLR underground. The cave environment with the dust, moisture, and mud, is naturally a camera's worst enemy so she started to develop alternate techniques. She reminds people, "Photography is painting with light. Under the surface of the earth, there is no light." With this theory, she found that cave photography is much more about how one uses light than anything else. Her goal is to get the best photos she can out of the smallest kit possible. Her standard equipment for cave photography weighs less than three pounds and fits easily into a standard daypack. She hopes to prove that quality cave photography does not have to involve bulky, expensive, and heavy gear.
