Born and raised
in the rural hills of Missouri, Samuel has since anchored himself in Los Angeles, California. Receiving his BFA in photography from Columbia College Chicago he has been fortunate to work and learn alongside many of the industry's leading professionals. These experiences have allowed him to gain the knowledge and opportunity to create successful photographs for clients internationally.
Samuel currently works as a freelance commercial photographer and presses everyday to integrate further into the industry. As a former Chicago bike messenger, international traveler and an all-around adventure junkie, you can always find him in constant motion towards enjoying it all.
