Photography

My focus is to capture the story behind the subject, by delving into the details of people’s lives, taking in expansive landscapes and discovering wonderful creatures hidden within, essentially creating photographs that serve as windows into meaningful narratives and experiences.

Additionally, I am committed to fostering environmental awareness through my work, highlighting the delicate balance between us and the natural world. With the aim of encouraging a deeper understanding and appreciation for our environment.

A few highlights

Pekoe Trails

Breathtaking scenery from one of the largest hiking trails in Sri Lanka, the Pekoe Trail.

Borderlands

Adventure and the outdoors is one of my loves in life and it was thrilling to have captured real joy on the faces of tourists in Borderlands, Sri Lanka.

Sun bear care

Borneo Orangutan Survival also runs the largest sun bear conservation in Indonesia, while volunteering, I captured some hard graft all the staff do everyday to care for these precious animals.

Sam receives glowing references from any client he encounters and is commended on his high quality work and consultative approach.
