Sam Rios - photographer
I specialise in capturing authentic, candid moments, that tell meaningful stories. Images you’ll value and revisit for years to come.
My work has been featured in exhibitions, magazines and I have led photography workshops. I also collaborate with Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, where my photography can be seen in their international marketing – Saving orangutans and their rainforest home, one photo at a time.

Delightful results
Just wanted to say how incredibly thankful I am that you found us and are applying your incredible talents to help the orangutans. Everything you do has your passion built in to it, and that is obvious to all that see your work.
I was busy with all our pictures yesterday. It was very easy to download your pics. Again thanks they are all fantastic!! It was really nice to meet you. My kids also loved your personality, you are so kind. You add some value to our stay in Borderlands!!
I think you are the wisest foreigner man I ever met in Chiangmai. After I met you, you inspired me to more personal photography projects that I wanted to do.
Sam receives glowing references from any client he encounters and is commended on his high quality work and consultative approach.
Proud to have worked for
