Amelia Chen

Amelia Chen studied Fine Art Photography at the Royal College of Art in London before spending 6 years as a photography educator at workshops across the UK, US, and Australia. Her unique ability to explain complex technical concepts in accessible, engaging language made her a natural fit for editorial writing.

Bridging Art and Technology

At Shadibox, Amelia covers the technical and trend-driven side of wedding photography — from the best camera gear for destination shoots to the rise of film photography in weddings, and how AI is changing post-processing workflows.

She's also a passionate advocate for documentary-style wedding photography, believing the best wedding images are the ones you didn't see coming.
