Amy Touchette is a photographer based in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, who explores themes of social connectedness through street portraiture. Trained at the International Center of Photography, her photographs have exhibited and been published internationally, including at the MoMA-Moscow, in The New York Times, and in Artsy. One of 100 photographers profiled in the book Women Street Photographers (Prestel, 2021), BuzzFeed called her a “master of street photography in the busiest of concrete jungles, New York City.” Touchette’s second monograph, Personal Ties: Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn (Schilt Publishing, 2022), was short-listed for the Lucie Photo Book Award 2022 and garnered a Critical Mass 2021 Top 50. Photographs from the book have exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London, in “In Praise of Shadow Boxers, Dissonance & Dissidents,” a tribute to Greg Tate at Lincoln Center, in Photoville’s “The Brooklyn Connection” curated by Jamel Shabazz, and elsewhere. Her first monograph, Shoot the Arrow: A Portrait of The World Famous *BOB*, (Un-Gyve Press, 2013) was featured in various media, including la repubblica, Esquire Magazine, and Vogue Italia. She’s represented by ClampArt in NYC and Little Big Galerie in Paris, France.
