About Me

I began taking photos at the impressionable age of 10 years old, and have been completely in love with photography every since.

I studied photography formally for 6 years; 2 at Laney College (Oakland, CA), 2 at the California College of the Arts (San Francisco), and 2 at the Academy of Art College (San Francisco), where I received my BA in Photography. My education has expanded over the years through various jobs I've worked, sharing information with colleagues and friends and through the internet.

I currently sit on the Board of the Dallas Chapter of the ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers - http://www.asmpdallas.org ).

I consider myself very reliable and hardworking, and like to colaborate with others who share these qualities.

I hope to develop a style that draws the viewer into the image, to create "a picture worth looking at", as a friend of mine once so succinctly summed it up.
I think that it's important to have a point of departure in whatever I photograph, or in simple terms, to have a specific intent in mind. (This thought was stolen from the late, great photographer Dorthea Lang - Ggoogle her, she's very interesting.)

I would like to find models that are friendly, dependable and positive - for me, a pleasant dispostion is an imperative for all involved for a successful shoot.

Ok, that is about all. I hope to hear from prospective models and stylists (both hair and makeup...or both!).

Cheers,

Sam
