Philosophy.
If you like pictures of smiling groups or highly photoshopped pictures, I’m probably not the photographer for you. I like to get to know you, talk to your guests, learn about you and capture the event and you and your business and your friends and customers and guests as they are. I seek to capture the essence of the event and who you are. I like to collaborate with other photographers so I am happy to complement my style with any other type of photography you’d like or need.
Teaching
In 2012, SLPD expanded into teaching photography. The philosophy in teaching is to simplify photography, helping you capture great pictures no matter past experience or type of camera you have. The one-on-one/small group lessons go over the camera and photography basics as well as practical tips and tricks. The lesson goal is to get you to take the photographs you wish you could to take.

Testimonials
We asked Sam to do family photos at the Torrey Pines State Park and had an awesome experience. Sam demonstrated an eye for some really cool opportunities and then managed to produce both realistic and artistic photos that exceeded our expectations. -Yason K.
I can’t say enough great things about Sam! Sam was called up on short notice and not only lived up to his contract but blew away all of my expectations. -Scott P
Amazing amount of insight, clearly organized and packed into just the first lesson. I recommend Sam’s photography lessons most highly. Also, his personal photography work looks great.-Chase F.
