Meet samantha Black (SHE/HER)

London and International Portrait and Lifestyle Photographer.

Hey, I'm Samantha plant Mama, mama of two, soulful creative and a lover of authentic connection. I've professionally photographed Mamas, families, lovers, and their babes since 2012.

At 18, I went to the London College Of Fashion to study Fashion Management; later, I went to University to study Business and Marketing. I then began a buying and merchandising career in fashion. It was during this time that I discovered a love for photographing people.

In the early days, I photographed models for Fashion Labels. I decided to move away from fashion and focus on delivering work that spoke to my heart. I now fit my Fashion and beauty work around my family work; I love how they challenge me differently.

I surround myself with warm-hearted, kind and compassionate souls. Women and their courage and vulnerability inspire me. I believe in progress through positive social change.

I use my intuition to feel my way through sessions. I'm most at home when I can tell stories of warmth and intimacy. Integrity goes to the heart of what I do; my art is part of me. I do everything from a genuine place. I ask that you do, too, and together, we’ll create art you'll love.

I cover London and throughout the UK. I’m also available to travel worldwide.
