Sam

​

Always in pursuit of technical perfection and capturing compelling stories, Sam’s work has spanned from docudramas with the FBI to remote regions of Antarctica.  Creating visually-pleasing images that show his subjects in their best light, Sam’s style is creative, refined - as well as efficient and effective.

​

Sam has organized, trained and equipped camera crews for large productions, and is just as comfortable shooting on a ship as in a studio.   In addition to production work, Sam’s experience as a video technical expert for the Manhattan DA’s office led to him testifying numerous times in court and work on high profile cases.

​

Sam’s experience also includes videos for web, crowd funding, PSAs and celebrity interviews, both as a solo operator and with various size crews.

​

After years of creating and using his own custom camera rigs, the demand for Sam’s custom one-off rigs progressed to Sam creating Fathom Camera, where he designs and produces innovative camera rigs and accessories.
