The name’s Sammy Spence, though a lot of folks call me Sam. I’m a professional photographer, painter, producer, creative, dreamer, skier, runner, kayaker, mountain climber.
I like to believe art is in everything we do, whether thats telling a story, skiing a mountain or photographing for a brand… art is everywhere. Its not what we create, but how we create it. Is it done with love? Well, I think that’s art.
My craft is filled with imperfection, grit and colors that pop. I believe in creating moments for authentic imagery to take place. If I’m shooting for a camping brand, you better believe we’re going camping. We’re getting dirty. We’re making memories, so that when you receive images- they aren’t faked. They are documentation of real life laughter and shared cups of coffee and nights spent under the stars.
When you hire me, I take you along with me, on an adventure. Whether its a big one or a backyard one, we’ll have a good time, we’ll still connect and discover, maybe summit a mountain or climb a spire or run like kids down some dirt road. We’ll create imagery for your brand, with your products being used as tools for adventure and connection to this big beautiful world.
My rule of thumb is, stay raw, stay real, stay weird. I love creating playful lifestyle imagery that allows folks to see themselves in your brand making their own memories out there in the wild.
Over the years as a photographer, writer, athlete and creative I’ve gotten to work with some amazing brands. I’ve worked with Salomon for three years now as an ambassador and I just signed with Atomic Ski for this 2021-22 season. I couldn’t be more stoked for some deep turns and long days in the backcountry.
Let’s work together.
