"Our eyes are hungry all the time, and they have to be fed with color and light and flesh and humor. You have to keep feeding your eyes and your soul ... with art and poetry and films and people having fun. Having fun is an art too, you know." Dennis Hopper

Hi, I'm Mandy-Lyn. I'm a photographer, writer and film maker. I was born, raised and live on Canada's West Coast. I shoot all film, mostly the kind you can buy at the drugstore, with an old Canon camera that my Grandpa gave me.

I love rock n roll, blues, cowboy songs, Elvis, soul, heavy metal, twanging electric guitars, crazy hillbilly mountain music... I make cassette mixtapes full of my favourite stuff. I've got a radio show called MAGIC HOUR, and man, it rules. You can listen to mixtapes and archived MAGIC HOURS here. 

See full sets of my work uncensored here for just $6.66 a month. That small monthly token of appreciation for the analog also helps very much in the buying and processing of all my film.

My photographs have been seen in Juxtapoz, VICE, Penthouse, Choppers Magazine, HUSTLER, Vogue Italy and DiCE. I've had the pleasure of collaborating and shooting for some righteous international brands like HUF, Vans, Altamont, Canada Ammo, Volume 4, CRAP Eyewear and O MIGHTY.
