Would, perhaps, the intent of the assignment be for you to go out on your own and learn about the color amber without obtaining your information from photographers? Read a book on the color, even a book on symbols and mysticism with color, check a color wheel, think about the assignment and the subject and create your own wonderful image.
Yes, that crossed my mind as well. I'd have to research it.

Well, Carlosu,
Shakespeare who? (Or is that whom? WTF...who cares.). I knew a Shakespeare once....his family made fishing reels and sporting equipment.
"Me thinks thou dost protest too much..." (Hamlet Act 3, Scene 2)
(Actual quote...."The lady doth protest too much, methinks.")
But then, what does any of this have to do with the OP's question?

My recollection is that in the first Jurrrasic Park, it was the DNA of an amphibian from an "ambered "mosquito that was spliced into the DNA extracted from a dinosaur fossil. Is my memory of the story line from years ago now failing?
A little, they filled in the missing or bad pieces of the Amber (ed) Dinosaur DNA from an (living?) Amphibian. That probably would not actually work. That would be like filling in Dog DNA from a Chicken. But it created a good Sci Fi story line since some Amphibians are really weird and can reproduce by Parthenogenesis. Look that up! What I forget now is, where did they get the live Ova from!

Yes, as suggested per
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties...
Photograph a Wheat Field during golden hour. Or the weed "wheat grass".
Tree sap or resin oozing. Since Amber is also a substance as well as a color (fossilized tree sap / resin; Yummy, Maple Syrup). You'll have fun with Jade, Turquoise, Obsidian, Lemon, Orange, Grape, and Blond too. RGBYMC get pretty boring fast.

Oh, yes, polonise. Perhaps we can steer this back on course with, "What a piece of work is amber..." (LOL, Largobob)

Right on!
Ambergris from a sperm whale is used to make perfume. Maybe a whale or Karl Lagerfeld?

I am kind of partial to "Tet me take you one buttonhole lower", from Love's Labor's Lost.And I really cannot figure what largobob had in mind with his comment. Must be these glasses.

My camera club has a new assignment every month. This month we are to have someone pick a color and take a picture using a subject of that color. Additionally, the photo's story should reflect the emotion associated with that color. IE blue= cool, cerebral, etc. red = excitement, hot, tension, etc.
SO What is the emotion associated with the color amber? I think my color picker threw me a fastball down and in.

How do you react to amber?

Just noticed the color of my iced tea. Temp outside was 105 F when I came in to Starbucks. So right now my reaction to amber is refreshment.
