Hola y wepa! I'm a Latine artist engaging with visual media to create thrilling imagery and tell galvanizing stories. With over 10 + years in the film and production industry, I have worked on a variety of projects in both the narrative and commercial production space. Some select commercial projects/clients include Apple, Adidas, Dick's Sporting Goods, In N Out Burger, and Black and Decker.
My specialty and concentration is the camera department, along with stills photography. I work primarily as an Operator and First AC, with experience as both a DP and Colorist. I'm a sucker for BTS content and love doing set stills photography when asked.
I have been shooting portraits for just as long as I've worked in the film industry, and now work with a team of dedicated artists to deliver a full concierge photo portrait experience; complete with hair, makeup, and a stylist. Please get in touch if you're looking to tell a story through portraiture!
I seek to support organizations and individuals that value social equality and environmental responsibility. Particularly, I am a proud and committed ally of both BLM and the LGBTQ+ community, passionate about preserving wildlife habitats and engaged in raising awareness of and improving mental health. If you think we would be a good match on a project together, please feel free to contact me via email at hola@samsanchez.art
