AMY MIKLER + SENIORS!

October 10, 2023

Amy Mikler has a way with not only kids but also seniors and she shared; "People will always be my favorite subjects, and kids and seniors are perhaps my two favorite people groups to work with. Possibly because they share some similar characteristics; I never know what they will say, they know how to enjoy life, simple pleasures, and often have quirky fashion sense. They are also unapologetically honest, and know how to laugh at them selves, which keeps the set fresh and endlessly interesting."

"Primed by my relatives, I take for granted that growing older doesn't mean growing boring. To that end, a few years ago, I did a golden years test shoot built on the premise that we never stop wanting to live with laughter. And I am not sure who laughed more… me or them. The talent were for up for ANYTHING, including cannonballs, dancing, and water fights."

"With commissioned work, whether it is talent for various commercial clients, or actual residents for clients like Erickson Living, it is safe to assume that conversation topics will be far-reaching and interesting, the talent will show up early, and if more than a couple of singles are on set we can expect some flirting."

Photographer Amy Mikler was kayaking in the bay near her clan’s vacation spot, when she met some local oyster farmers. Their hard work and connection to the water sparked something deeper in Amy's creative mind. That chance encounter brought to life an idea Amy had been nurturing for some time: a project that celebrates The Farm Behind The Food.
