documenting the human family

Caroline Amicone has been documenting and framing life through the lens of her camera since she first picked up a camera on a family fishing trip when she was 7. 

Her only formal training was a photography class taught by Joe Deal senior year at U.C. Riverside. For decades since college, she has continued her passion for capturing the reality of everyday life — and the beauty that sometimes goes unnoticed.

In capturing the essence of the moment she frames the photo as she snaps it, and does not allow any of her photographs to be cropped. She believes that a true photo must tell a story, be a cohesive concept, and is only successful if the entire image is presented.

She admires the works of Helen Levitt, Gary Winogrand and Walker Evans, to name but a few.
