Hey, I’m Samuel Martin.

I am a commercial photographer with a deep love for the outdoors and storytelling. The images I make are shaped by my life—days spent chasing light, navigating the backcountry, or working with awesome people on set. I want my photos to spark curiosity about the world we live in and how we move through it.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually outside. I’ve hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, and later bikepacked from Canada back down to Mexico on gravel roads. I’ve paddled whitewater, slept under stars, and pushed through a lot of type-2 fun. That same energy shows up in my work—staying calm in the chaos, adapting fast, and leading teams with clarity and respect.

Whether it’s a big brand shoot or a passion project, I’m always aiming to create something real. Images that feel lived-in and honest.

If that sounds like your kind of approach, let’s make something together.
