HOWDY, MY NAME IS SAM!
I’m a light seeker, visual storyteller and retoucher based in Portland, OR.
I use my camera as a tool for connection and empowerment. Through this device I do most of my learning: about the world, my interests, and most importantly, YOU. Everyone has a story to tell. Whether it be through a candid headshot, an issue of social justice, or documenting your wedding day, narratives are endless! I am here because everyone has inherent value and as a result, so does your story.
My area of expertise is people. I am drawn to emotional and occasionally peculiar moments. I gravitate towards the graphic and aesthetic elements of an image, but it is inevitably human emotion that really pulls me in, and what I am constantly hunting for in images. I approach my work with an empathetic lens, always observing first and picking up my camera second. I wish nothing more than to portray my subjects in the most honest, beautiful light.
The world is an interesting and frequently ambiguous place. I'd like to think we can make the most sense of it with visuals. With an acute eye for aesthetics and an insatiable visual appetite, I promise to deliver a most unique and personal experience.
