YOUR GIRL SAMANTHA LEVI VOTED 2020 #1 BEST PHOTOGRAPHER (ARTISTIC)
photo by Jeff Evrard
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.
Samantha Levi Photography is a women-owned business in the heart of the midwest specializing in creative content creation for brands, businesses, and individuals alike. She has both east and west coast connections and works as a lightworker in Kansas City. She is available for worldwide assignments AND as past has proven, is willing to jump on a plane at a moment's notice. She prefers palm tree life and cannoli on her birthday. On off days you can find her jumping on the trampoline with her son Auggy and Olde English Bulldog, Merle.

Below is a link to view my most popular packages. However, Every job is different from editorial look books to commercial catalogs to art directed product shoots. Due to the varying nature of each project, I prefer to set up a call/meeting prior to discuss all details. This allows me to better serve and provides both parties the ability to gain a clear intention on the type of shots, expectations, production value that you will need for the best high quality images. Everything to me must be in alignment.
