Hello! I’m Sam, a Bay Area–based photographer drawn to natural light, heartfelt moments, and visual storytelling. I capture portraits, couples, and street scenes.

As an ML engineer by day, I view photography as my creative contrast. I believe it’s uniquely human to feel the memories living on in frames, something not quantifiable by pixels and model weights.

I shoot on a Sony A7IV and A7C paired with fast prime lenses like the 35mm f/1.4 GM and 85mm f/1.4 GM II. For more spontaneous days, I use a Fujifilm X100VI. In most of my work, I blend digital precision with film-inspired grading to complement the cinematic spirit of each story.
