Amber-Jayne Bain is a lifestyle and portrait photographer based in Aotearoa, New Zealand, creating cinematic, emotive imagery grounded in human connection and carefully crafted light. Her work blends truth with atmosphere, capturing ordinary people in ways that feel elevated, honest, and deeply narrative driven.
Working across advertising and editorial projects, Amber-Jayne collaborates with agencies and creative teams to produce imagery that is immersive and emotionally resonant. Inspired by cinema and the textures of everyday life, she is drawn to stories that reveal character and intimacy. A recently completed Master’s degree in Fine Arts (Distinction) adds conceptual rigour to her commercial practice, pairing creative depth with dependable execution.
Amber-Jayne is represented by IDC.
