(ARTIST BIOGRAPHY)
I have a 12 years of digital photography production experience in commercial studios and
on location. When I was 20, I got my first start as a photographer's assistant and digital technician for several well known fashion photographers in New York City. Over the years, I’ve bounced around wearing different titles; producer, director of photo production, post production manager.

My photography work has collaborated with brands and magazines like Nike, Billabong, Cosmopolitan, ELLE, Glamour, Grazia, Marie Claire, Macmillan Publishers UK, Pandora Media, Penguin Publishing UK, Playboy, P Magazine, Self Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Women's Health.

Today, I currently freelance as a photographer and director. In my free time, I’m currently focusing my on experimental narrative filmmaking.

("STILL YOUNG" ARTIST STATEMENT)

”STILL YOUNG attempts to unravel the cycles of youth, daydreaming, and nostalgia through portraits of the human body in a dream-state environment.

Entranced by the vibrancy of colors at a young age, Sam Livm's work defines his polarizing interpretations of uncomfortable emotions and desired feelings by light either created naturally by the sun or artificially through neon city lights. 

Theses photographs also attempt to portray female nudity through a non-sexual, body positive, and naturalistic approach where clothing can not offer viewer's a quick reference to a specific time or the subject's personality from preconceived societal stereotypes.

Livm's approach is filled with spontaneity and a vitality to create where no suggestions can be wrong; Sam strongly believes that the entire process in creating is just as important for him and his collaborators to come away with something as is the final product shared with the world.”
