WHO IS TERPODACTYL?
Hello, my name is Amanda Lopez.
I am the founder and creative behind Terpodactyl Media, a Portland cannabis photography and media studio. My passion for cannabis photography, writing, design, and multimedia production stems from a love for the plant, its products, and its people.
My knowledge and skills grew as I explored a higher education in biology, journalism, and multimedia at Lane Community College and the University of Oregon. When I wasn’t in class, I worked in the retail and plant-touching realm, gaining firsthand experience in Oregon’s cannabis industry.
In 2016, an unexpected health hurdle brought me even closer to cannabis. Terpodactyl Media was born out of a fiery determination to continue working with the plant despite my new disabilities. A shift into media made way for necessary medical flexibility while cultivating a career that would blossom to include recognition in Forbes and Leaf Magazines.
Today, Terpodactyl Media continues to grow, providing cannabis photography and multimedia production for Oregon producers, processors, and retailers — as well as directing for Leaf Magazines’ multiple print publications.
If you’re looking for professional projects approached with passion, creativity, and a well-rooted understanding of the Portland cannabis photography scene, talk to Terpodactyl Media today!
