Samantha Levi describes herself as a "visual colonialist" — traditional in her artistic craft and an emotional control over her art. She finds comfort in both nostalgic and comedic images. Samantha encompasses a strong sense of style and edginess — putting her ‘real-ness’ and passion for the craft ahead of the pact. Her deep roots in film photography and true understanding for the 'art of photography' has defined her style throughout her career. Passionately interested in music and fashion as a lifestyle, she produces photographs that incorporate these interests, her technical studies, her travels and her overall passion for the art.
“My goal,” she said, “is to find the beauty in what is real, to produce images that mix euphoria and the kindred spirit. Finding and capturing those loving, honest moments — all the while striving for strong art direction and the emotional connection within each frame.” With over a decade of photography experience, Samantha encompasses a certain je ne sais quoi atheistic on and off set.
