Hello, I’m Sam, a passionate and accomplished freelance photographer with over ten years of self-taught experience, complemented by two years of formal photography education at Madison College. My passion, dedication, and diverse industry experience have shaped me into a well-rounded professional who is continually seeking opportunities to grow my career and expand my skill set.

Born and raised in south-central Wisconsin, my passion for photography began in 2013. From an early age, I had an eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the arts, making photography a natural fit. What started as documenting the Midwest automotive and aviation scenes with the equipment I had available quickly evolved into a lifelong passion and career.

My enthusiasm for photography, the automotive industry, and aviation has led to remarkable opportunities, allowing me to work with incredible people, contribute to exciting projects, and travel to some truly unforgettable locations.

As I continue pursuing my passion within the automotive industry, I relocated to beautiful West Michigan to serve as a full-time Automotive Photographer and Social Media Content Creator for The Speed Collection, an independent exotic and specialty car dealership based in the Holland area.

Outside of photography, I enjoy attending EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin each year, networking with fellow automotive enthusiasts at Cars & Coffee gatherings, spending summer weekends at Road America, and traveling annually to Monterey, California for Monterey Car Week.
