Home Safe

An investigative project that uses intimate imagery to discuss themes of safety and comfort, finding familial links within communal friendship groups.

The project dissects how ‘home’ can be a feeling and a group of people more than just four white walls and a roof. Transience and time is explored throughout this project, documenting the minuscule moments of everyday life that would otherwise go overlooked if not for the presence of photographer and camera.

This project is for all those who have felt so lost for years only to find peace within a short period of life. This project can be home for you when the notion of such feels so out of reach.

Amber Marie’s photography is primarily of a personal and intimate nature, documenting themes such as community, love, mental health and the transition from girlhood to womanhood. Amber works predominantly with analogue cameras and film aesthetics has a huge role to play in her work and the work of others that she finds inspirational.

Identity is a key theme in the majority of Amber’s work as her love for photography started out as an almost obsession with self-documentation and the exploration of growing old.
