Documentary Fine Art Nature Photojournalism Travel Photography

Welcome! I'm Sam, a self taught, passionate New Zealand-based photographer and filmmaker drawn to capturing raw, human-centered stories. My work often explores themes of resilience, identity, and everyday beauty—whether on the streets of Sierra Leone, in rural Cambodia, or deep within the rice fields of Vietnam. I aim to create images that are honest, emotional, and grounded in real connection. Through light, color, and quiet observation, I try to reveal something true about the people and places I photograph. Keeps life exciting.
