($979, apple.com/au)
I’m a little obsessed with my iPad
and Adobe Photoshop Sketch.
As an artist, I love that I can
draw anything from quick
sketches to intricate pieces
with one application.
2.PRYNTPrynt Pocket Instant
Photo Printer for iPhone
($150, print.co)
I love polaroids and I’m
constantly taking them for work
and play. I recently bought this
so I could print images on my
phone instantly. It’s a great
backup when I run out of film
or leave my camera behind.
3.BOSEBose Quiet Comfort
35 Wireless Headphones II
(from $499.95, bose.com.au)
I travel a lot and most of my
journeys include flying, so there’s
no way I could live without these.
They’re noise cancelling, which
really helps when it comes
to getting sleep on long flights.4.DR DENNIS GROSS
SpectraLite EyeCare Pro LED
Device ($233, mecca.com.au)
Many of the incredible makeup
artists I work with use LED masks
and their skin always looks so
fresh and dewy. It promotes
collagen and reduces fine lines.

I run my business – and life –
through a device that fits in the
back pocket of my Levi’s.

Link this smart watch with the LV
app and you can access texts
and email alerts, and track your
steps. It has a world clock that
updates as you travel and the
City Guide application brings
all the best spots of every major
metropolitan city to your wrist.
7.SYNOLOGYDiskStation
(from $660, synology.com)
Most of my work is behind the
camera, so I need failsafe
storage. This server stores all my
data and images, while allowing
remote file sharing and syncing.HOW MY BATTERIES

The site I couldn’t be without is:
I lose myself for hours on Pinterest. It
really is an excellent image resource
and, if you use it correctly, it’s the most
exciting place to get inspired by
creatives from around the world. I also
find new people to collaborate with
through my own Pinterest board.
The question I most often ask
Siri or Alexa is:What’s the
weather like today in Paris?ThTAmanda Shadforth

to balance authenticity
and boundless creativityMyPics
I collect a lot of images on my
phone – this app acts like a
series of self-created folders so
I can organise all my ideas.
Shopify
I just launched my online store
OF by Amanda Shadforth
(ofbyamandashadforth.com)
and love how this app lets you
track sales and demographics.
Bazaart
It lets you make beautiful
collages using images from
your phone. The end result
rivals anything you could
create in Photoshop.
Planoly
I use it to plan images for my
Instagram feed. I don’t plan
all of them but sometimes it’s
helpful to use the preview.
Sun Seeker
These days I’m often working
behind the camera and I use
this to track the sun so I know
what the light is doing.TECH:AMANDA’S
