About
pictures + words
Amy J. Schultz is dedicated to the art of great storytelling that explores and celebrates unique aspects of modern culture that hide in plain sight.
Built on her experience and expertise in creative direction, writing, photography, and brand-building, her studio practice is multi-faceted:
First, Amy is an award-winning author, creative writer, and photographer whose work and collections explore and celebrate unique aspects of modern culture.
Second, Amy works with a variety of clients on short-term projects, such as personal and professional portraits, commercial photography, design, and writing for feature stories, grant applications, blogs, marketing collateral, annual reports, and more.
Third, much like an in-house communications team, Amy helps long-term clients develop marketing strategies as well as daily brand messaging and photography for print and digital platforms.
