Sam did a number of jobs then, from being a service crew in a restaurant, a tour guide, a salesman, a call center agent, even a receptionist for a fitness center. In 2008, by saving several months worth of salary, he acquired his first DSLR and fell in love with the craft. Sam enrolled in a self-paced study program by The New York Institute of Photography in order to know the fundamentals. After a year, he needed to quit his day job to accommodate a growing number of clients. “Photography for me, is more than art and passion, it’s my life.
