“Sam took new group photos for us last week, as well as headshots. We always feel a bit lost as to where to stand, how to look etc. so we loved that he gave us direction of what looked best and suggestions of different stances.
Everything was quick and efficient and professional.

Thanks so much Sam we all love our new photos and will definitely be using you again in the future!”

We were so pleased with his work and the final photographs, that we will continue to use him in the future.”

PAST Projects

Auckland Luxury Apartments - Photography and Video

The owners of a Ponsonby-based apartment building contacted me to help them create photo and video content for their website and online marketing.

Together we worked on a two-day shoot to photograph and film all of the rooms and amenities, as well as some lifestyle shots on the rooftop and the surrounding area.

 

Hobsonville Coworking Space - Photography

I worked with the management of this stunning shared office space to create some images that they could use for their social media, promotional materials and website.

We spent half a day photographing each of the key spaces within the building and staging some key shots that they wished to create.

 

Photography for the School of Optometry

I worked with the University of Auckland to create a set of images for the optometry school’s prospectus. Working with an assistant/second-shooter and a group of students, I helped to plan out out a shot list and created a selection of images for the university.
