Grüss Gott! (greetings)

I'm Samara, thanks for stoping by. 

Since you're here, I bet you're curious for more, eh?

 

Here's the quick history recap:

My creative journey began during my college days while studying abroad in Austria & Germany- the birthplace of my love for art and photography. For the past 20+ years I've been a photographer that specializes in stylized street photography and conceptual photo-illustrations. I have a passion for creating captivating compositions, illustrations, and designs. Enjoy perusing my portfolio, check out my online store, and if you'd like to collaborate on a project - feel free to drop me a note!
