Amy Goalen is a California-born photographer, digital artist, and author whose work explores the emotional and physical essence of her subjects. Guided by a deep connection to yoga, dance, and the expressive power of the human body, she creates imagery that feels both intimate and expansive. Using light and shadow as her primary tools, Amy crafts visually striking works that invite viewers into a contemplative, soulful experience.

​

Her artistic foundation was shaped at the Brooks Institute of Photography, where she trained extensively in traditional film capture, darkroom printing, and undersea photography. This technical grounding informs her refined digital practice, where she spends countless hours developing meticulously crafted, one-of-a-kind fine art pieces.

With over two decades of experience as a Commercial and Editorial Photographer, Digital Technician, and professional retoucher, Amy now focuses exclusively on her fine art practice. She travels internationally, collaborating with inspiring individuals and immersing herself in diverse environments to create imagery that reveals people and places in a way that feels timeless, cinematic, and deeply human.
