my name is samm blake.
I am an explorer of the world, love and light. I document my findings with a camera.
Currently based in Melbourne after making the big leap across from Perth in 2011. I shoot throughout Australia and internationally for commissions. When I am not taking photos, I enjoy traveling. I particularly enjoy doing both at the same time.
I have been working as a professional photographer for over seven years and I am a member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP). Photography is my life, passion and obsession. I live and breathe it every day.
I like to create pictures and tell stories. I am fascinated with exploring the connections we have with others in our lives. I love that I get to document people in their most honest moments.
