AMBER HERRIN

Independent Production Contractor

Amber Herrin, a native to the Northwest, is a woman who is ready and eager to learn new things while equally willing to teach the gifts that have been bestowed upon her. As a licensed cosmetologist, she believes that every human has an inner beauty that can be amplified by outer appearance and strives to bring the two together in a unified visual song of who each person truly is.

Another passion of Amber’s is using video to capture both still and live-action while maintaining balance during shots while simultaneously paying attention to lighting, focus, and surrounding movement. She spent 5 years learning these important aspects of filming from Dark Room Productions and many more. While working for Donovan Vaughn, owner of Dark Room Productions, she was introduced to Hand in Hand Productions. While working there she was opened up to a whole new world of live broadcasting while being trained and educated by the Navy Seal of Video, Matt Hand.

Amber’s focus never strays from wanting to understand what makes up an accomplished human being in the eyes of the beholder. She prides herself in leaving behind a work of art whether it is through cosmetology or video entertainment and documentation. With these goals in mind, Amber seeks to help change the world one person at a time by impacting others with a new and exciting perspective. Her utmost desire is to continually grow and work with the leaders and teachers for whom she is honored to work for; real men and women who keep a pure heart, have couth, and understand the importance of good old-fashioned values and morals.

In his own words, he enjoys the benefits of going to the gym, but not necessarily the part that involves actually going to the gym. He also takes part in Krav Maga (Israeli self defense) 2 -3 times a week, but he especially enjoys spending time with his daughter making English Scones together. His morning is not complete without a Honey Hemp latte.
