MORE ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Samantha!
*firmly shakes hand*
I am a fourth-year Advertising and English student at the University of Oregon! Maybe i’ll have a degree by the time you read this! Welcome to my creative visuals site :) The things I make because I have to.... or I’ll combust. But if you’re interested in grad pics, headshots, or model digitals... click the link here!
Currently, I have been the photo editor for Align Magazine for half of my college experience as well as shooting for other publications/magazines, Allen Hall Advertising, and ASUO (our student government). I also pursue my own creative practice, and my joint creative practice intertwining mixed media, design, and photo with my dearest friend,Chloe Montague. I started taking photos back in high school when I was going through a tough time, and I desperately needed a creative outlet that would take me out of my head and into the present.
Nothing brings me more ease than when I am photographing people or editing/manipulating photos. Photography has given me a personal, creative, and social outlet where I can express myself as well as be more attuned and observant of others. To be able to photograph someone is a privilege and a deeply intimate act, that can be invasive when done without care, and I am always thankful for friends, models, and strangers who allow and trust me to explore this visual intimacy with them.
